Maps to IFD Extension

If you are a hydrologist in Australia, then no doubt you've typed your fair share of coordinates into Bureau and AR&R websites to obtain your data.

No one likes doing that.

This extension takes the coordinates from a Google Maps window that you are viewing, and uses them to open the Bureau of Meteorology IFD webpage, and also loads the relevant Australian Rainfall and Runoff data.

Usage: The extension icon will only be active on Google Maps web pages. If you click it, it will open a window for the BoM IFD site and one AR&R site, using the currently viewed Maps location.
