Posted by Jaybird on May 31, 2010 at 5:30pm

And for those surveyors out there who use Google Chrome Browser, here is a nice extension called Select to Get Maps which allows you to select addresses on any web page to get a popup with links to show it on a map or get directions there.
Enjoy Surveyors....! Hope this comes in Handy!
