Search in GMaps

[Gianluca Ferrario]

Here another script for bookmarklets that can be very useful: just select an address, or the name of a city or country in a webpage and click on the bookmarklet. In a new tab you will have the result of the selected text in google maps! Very time-saving if you need to organize your holidays!
Enjoy and leave a comment plz!

javascript:if(window.getSelection){txt=window.getS election();}if(txt!=''){ow=location.href;dw=window .open();dw.document.location='http://maps.google.com/maps?q='+txt;ow=void(null);}

You can just middle-click the bookmark (unless you are on a Mac)
