Google Earth

The program lets you do smooth sailing flybyes of the entire Earth. You can easily fly to any spot on the globe, by entering any associated data, like street addresses, place names or lat/long coordinates. There are overlays that put additional information on the map, like roads, international boundaries, terrain, 3D buildings, crime statistics, schools, stadiums, any number of interesting stuff.You can do Local searches in the program, with icons on the map and a display on the side showing your results. You can leave notes, called ???placemarks??? all over the map, so you can remember where all sorts of places are. Searches and placemarks can be saved as bookmarks in ???My Places???. Everything can be output in an XML format called KML, that will allow the vast popularity of Google Maps to continue in Earth. You can also email a JPEG of the map, or send a KMZ file if you know the recipient has Earth installed.Google Earth is free for personal use. No registration is required.

Map+

View a Yahoo! map of a selected address without having to open a new window or tab.

Currently, Map+ only supports addresses within the United States (sorry).

Getting Started:
After installing Map+ and restarting Firefox, click on the "Tools" menu and select "Add-ons." A dialog box will appear with a list of installed Add-ons, click on the Map+ entry and push the "Options" button. A new dialog box will appear. Here you can enter your address and adjust the size of Map+. Push the "OK" button and close the Add-ons dialog. You're all done!

As an example, highlight the following address: 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 (hold down the left mouse button and drag across the entire address). Now right click on this highlighted text and you'll see a menu entry that says "View map of 1600 Amphtitheatre...". Click on that menu item and a popup with a map of that location should appear. If you want to get directions to that location, simply click on the little bubble icon that appears on the map and click the "To here" link. A new tab will open with the Yahoo driving directions.

A video of how to install and use the Map+ add-on can be found on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLIVKbYcH4Q.
