Basically you can get a map by clicking on an address in Addressbook (from Mapquest). Cool!

Afraid it has been around for a long time. Since 10.2 first came out I think. Very useful though.

That's a very cool feature I was yet to see. Even managed to find the small town in Australia that I live in.

Not only that, but if you have a Bluetooth phone, clicking on a phone number lets you dial that user, or send them a SMS message.

Clicking on an AIM nick lets you send them an AIM/iChat message

Clicking a email address lets you send them an email. If their address is @mac.com you can open their mac.com home page.

All in all Address Book is an under-rated aoo that beautifully integrates with many other apps. If only non-Apple apps would hook into it and have it act as an LDAP server things would be even better.
