iPhoneSender sends addresses to the iPhone’s Google Maps

Even I can see that that one is a little lazy, but hey, perhaps someone out there will be looking for a way to more easily send street addresses to their iPhone without actually typing them in. What? That’s you? Well soon after, pardner, you’re in luck– give iPhoneSender a look.

It is a Safari bookmarklet and/or Firefox extension that, when it spots a street address on a web page, will let you right visit the address, ask for an mail, and thereupon send that address, in convenient Google maps format, directly

to your iPhone. It’s all of the iPhone’s Google maps functionality, without any of the actual address-typing that usually requires.

Lazy? Perhaps. But I can see a sliver of a demand there– what whether you’re rushing out the door to the pizza place, but didn’t remember to print out the directions and don’t have sufficient date to write the address down to punch in later? Like many things in life, you might not realize how essential that little extension is until you actually have to use it.

Thanks, Matt L!
