NZ street maps in the Address Book

One of the problems with the Mac OS is that it’s Made in the USA. That means that some of the really cool stuff just doesn’t apply to those of us not in the USA. Now, thanks to Matt, we Kiwis have made one small step forward.

Over on the NZMac.com forums you can now find a new Address Book Plug-In to locate New Zealand addresses using Wise’s maps. To use, just place this script in the folder Hard Drive name/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins. Then when you open Address Book, you should be able to click of someone’s address and click “wises map of”. A map of the (New Zealand) address should show up in your default browser.

Oh, and earlier in the thread is a file for using MultiMap. The Wise’s map is better for me though — it brought me right to a very specific map with my house marked in exactly the right spot.
