Do you want a quick and easy way to see the location of a street address without having to leave the webpage you are on? Now you can highlight a street address on a webpage, click the bookmaplet, and its location will be shown on a map.
To install Bookmaplet visit the website, grab the bookmarklet with your mouse, and drag it onto your “Bookmarks Toolbar”. Now you are ready to view the maps and images for street addresses that you may find while browsing.
When you find an address that you would like to see a map of highlight the address only, not any of the other information. Once you have highlighted the street address click on Bookmaplet…
The map will open in a popup window as shown here.
Currently the map window can’t be resized but it still offers all the regular functionality of googlemaps. If you want to see the map in a bigger window you can just select “Open in Google Maps” and a new browser window will open.
