The
Minimap Addon gives you a suite of in-built maps and mapping tools for
your web browser. Create and save a sidebar map using the addresses or
address links you find on web pages (highlight then drag and drop), or
by manually adding locations. View traffic Info, drag and drop kml
files, local search, Google, Yahoo and Live Local directions, view in
google earth, tagzania, platial, geourl and many more. Address/Location
points are stored locally for later use.
This
extension comes with two mapping components, the main and most powerful
one being a minimap sidebar. In this sidebar you can drag and drop
addresses or locations you find on web pages and they will be
automatically located, and added to your saved address list. The
sidebar is launched from the toolbar icon (customise toolbar and drag
in), a statusbar icon and the view sidebar menu. The extension also
comes with a main browser Map Tab for viewing a larger map and this is
accessed from the statusbar or by highlighting an address, and
selecting 'Map Tab: Locate Address...' in the right click context menu.
A few of the extension features available:
* geoDiscovery: The extension will automatically discover geoURL's
and in-line geotags and populate the geoDiscovery list as you browse.
Alerts you to the discovery via a status bar image.
