I have an extension installed in Chrome which provides a link to Google Maps when text from a webpage is selected if the plugin judges it to be an address.  You can get the extension here.

Fair enough if you highlight a real address but Google Maps also thinks it can find “Up to 1000” and “6” E Ink” (taken from a website about an eBook reader).  An interesting way to discover random locations around the world, in this case  what is presumably a posh American estate built around a forested golf course on windy roads and an octagonal prison on “S T O Road” in India.

Incidentally I am of the opinion that eBook readers are almost as pointless as digital photo frames.
