Google Maps Gets Safari Support
Until today, visiting my current favorite online map in my current favorite web browser yielded a “we’re working on it” sort of message. Now it actually works. For those using the Google Map Of… and/or Get Google Directions Applescripts to map locations in Firefox, instructions to modify those scripts for Safari are on the macosxhints discussion thread (scroll down to the comment titled “Modifying Applescripts”). Or, if you’d rather not get your hands dirty, you can download my modified scripts. Just drop them in ~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins (creating this directory if necessary) and restart Address Book to make it work.

What am I supposed to see happening? I don’t see them in the scripts list.

If you right-click (or Control-Click) on an address in your address book, you should now see options for “Google Map Of” and “Get Google Directions to”.

Aha! Ok – that works!
