Does anyone know of a simple plugin, so that I can mark an adress anywhere (Especially in a browser), select Google Maps in Services or through a contextual menu, and get it to look it up on Googlemaps.com? I know of the plugin for Adressbook, but I would like one that is systemwide. (Or just Camino-based...)

Esh you may want to try Google Maps Widget Apple - Downloads - Dashboard Widgets - Google Maps Search
It works for USA, UK & Canada, if looking world-wide you must put (include) the countries name.

What if you select the address, right click it and choose "Search in Google". I tested this in Safari with an address and the top link is a Google Map that you can select.

Good suggestion, thank you!

Two problems with this though, it only opens in Safari (Even though I have Camino as my main browser), and it only seems to work with US adresses (It didnt work for me with a danish adress, Googlemaps usually recoignice).

Use this as the URL of a new bookmark:

code:

javascript:if(getSelection()!=''){q=getSelection() ;}else{void(q=prompt('Enter search term (Google maps)',''))};if(q){window.open('http://maps.google.com/maps?q='+escape(q));}

Not actually tested with a danish address, but you can run these (bookmarklets) from most modern browsers. Safari, OmniWeb, Camino, and Firefox all handle them just fine.
