Hello all....
I'm sending out 75+ invitations to a party and would like to use Address Book and Google Maps to automatically generate unique driving directions. Is there any way we can harness the power of OS X and make this very easy? Thanks for any help. Ryan |

Is there way to export adress in a text format or something ? Cause if so, I thing you could export them and use something like automator to add the parts of URL missing.
I mean, Google Maps use URL like htttp://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=THISISMY1RSTADRESSAK AFROM&daddr=THISISMY2NDADRESSEAKADESTINATION Maybe there is a easiest way too Dave Mustaine :"God created whammy bars for people who don't know how to solo." |

There's an idea. Thanks for the thought. Automator was my first thought, but I was hoping there was an easier way.

I did this for a website. I had an entry box where people entered their postcode and it would generate a map below with the route to my place.
Code:
<form action="http://maps.google.com/maps" method="get">
<p><label for=saddr">Your ZIP code</label>
<input type="text" name="saddr" id="saddr" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
<input type="hidden" name="daddr" value="1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500 (White House)" />
<input type="hidden" name="hl" value="en" /></p>
</form> Obviously that won't help your problem, but it could be a backup plan! |
