This extension comes with three mapping components, the main and most powerful one being the minimap sidebar. In this sidebar you can drag and drop addresses or address links you find on web pages and they will be automatically located, and added to your saved address list. The extension also comes with a quick loading Preview Panel to easily look at an address or directions without having to pre-save in your sidebar address list. The third mapping element is a main browser Map Tab for viewing a larger map. All three elements are accessed from the Toolbar button (customize your toolbar and drop it in), or by highlighting an address, and selecting 'Map Tab: Locate Address...' in the right click context menu, with the hotkey of CTRL+SHIFT+M opening up the Preview Panel.
