Drew W (ID: 000000c8ee7a8015) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/05/2021 Forced to use this because "Send To Google Maps" was thrown off Google in their never-ending tantrums. This extension will be usable till they come back, but suffers from many flaws. First off, it opens in a new window (instead of a tab). Secondly, it immediately takes you to the 'Directions' screen of Google Maps, which is usually not useful and just bad design. Lastly, there are ZERO options offered for the user to configure. Meh.
