Open an e-mailed street address in google maps

Greetings humans,
Does any one know of a way to directly open an e-mailed address in google maps (or any map site for that matter)
Kinda like the way it works in Address Book, except within Mail. Such as, highlight an address that someone emailed to me and right click then select open in google maps. A script perhaps?
I know I can highlight the address then go Mail>services>search with Google, then once on Googles result page select maps. But I was hoping for a more direct way.
Thanks in advance,
bd

Thanks for replying David.
What I was hoping for is a plugin for Mail to add a "Search with Google Maps" right under "Search with Google" (which is already there under Mail>Services.
"How is Mail (or any part of the system for that matter) supposed to know that an arbitrary text you’ve selected in Mail is actually a postal address?"
well... the user would know that it is a postal address. That would be the reason for selecting it and asking it to be searched via google maps. And if it wasn't an address, then there would be no results. Much the same way as if you typed a non-postal address directly in the google maps page. (Actually if you type any random word in google maps you will get thousands of hits)
I hope that clarifies what I mean. Or did I confuse the issue more?
Thanks again,
bd

Hello,
This is what you have to use as an example
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Collins+Street,+Melbourne,+Victoria,+Australia&daddr=Elizabeth+Street,+Melbourne,+Victoria,+Australia
h5. This is the from address
Collins+Street,+Melbourne,+Victoria,+Australia
h5. This is the end location
Elizabeth+Street,+Melbourne,+Victoria,+Australia
What you will need to do is relace these values with %%%Bill_To_Addr_Address1%%% and so on

No spoken Street Names in Google Maps

I only have generic "turn left" or "turn right".
I have checked and language strings are set to English US for voice output.
I have also tried clearing data and Cache in Maps And Google TTS?

Bookmarking addresses in google maps

The easiest way for me was:
Saving the addresses in the "Contacts".. that way they're always there.
Then, when I'm in Google maps and I start typing the name, it just comes up (with the address) for me to select. It saves me a lot of time!!
You can type either the name or the address and it will come up.
Yes, you can add your own point of interest.

Customer CRM Address in Google Maps?

Is it possble to plot a map of customers on a Google Map using the CRM address information? Similar to how it's done with a WebApp?

Hi Scott,
That's not possible since there's no module that will retrieve CRM data from the frontend.
Cheers,

Address mapping function? (automatically show google map, like with Mail?)

I have a Numbers spreadsheet full of building addresses in my area. I'd like to be able to automatically visually map an address on google maps, such as is available in the Mail application (like when you hover over an address and it recognizes text that makes up an address and allows the feature to map it with a single click). Is this possible at all?

Hi Pars,
you were in a wrong application.
here is the right one

Using Google Maps Street View on My MacBook Pro

Recently, I have been getting "Plug-In Missing" in the place of a video in a blog post. Also, when I try to use Street View in Google Maps I get a box that tells me I need to install Adobe Flash Player 10 or later to be able to use Street View. Should I try to download and install Adobe Flash Player? What could I use to be able to use Google Maps Street View and/or to play videos?

I found my reply elsewhere - you have to uncheck "contacts" and then recheck it. Kinda idiotic, but there you have it!

Street View (google maps) not working on Firefox with SNA

I have a problem with Firefox when trying to use Street View in Google Maps. It basically kills the browser by being extremely slow. Now, this happens only when using SNA acceleration (default), but not with UXA or GLAMOR (just removed on latest update or xf86-video-intel). Everything else works fast and good with SNA, including WebGL in Firefox. Moreover, with Chromium I don't have this issue: Street View works fine with SNA.
This is an Intel based laptop with Gen5 Intel graphics (and in case it matters, I use KDE desktop):
# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep SNA
[455944.801] (II) intel(0): SNA initialized with Ironlake (gen5) backend
Anyone else noticed this? Any idea of what can be the problem?

Google Map Bookmarks

I can't seem to set bookmarks on the map application. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks,
Joel

Type in the address you want into the google maps browser. Hit search. When you see the push pin on the map, touch the blue right arrow button. This will bring up a screen where one option is "add to bookmarks".
You can also bring up an address in google maps by going into your contacts and tapping on the address. Then you can sett the bookmark by the same procedure.
