Hi,

One of the features I really found useful in IE8 was to be able to select a zip/postal code > right click > select view in google maps. This would open a new tab in google maps as though i had gone there myself and searched for the address.

Is there a similar extension I can use in safari?

I know my iphone recognises phone numbers when selected...

Thanks in advance.

And not sure if the feature I have is native Safari or a part of the Glims plugin I use (I highly recommend), but, I have a 'Search in Google' link in my right click menu that brings up a first hit in the search page of google maps for a zip code.

The Search in Google right click is built in to Safari
