The first comment cut my enthusiasm though. I do have a suggestion though. I have become very accustomed to selecting text then right clicking and using the 'Search Google for "???"' feature. It would be great if there was a 'geoLocate "???" in Google Maps" You could have a configuration menu to select either Google Maps, Google Earth or others. Neat idea. The first comment cut my enthusiasm though.

As you guessed I didn't read the comments :) I haven't had much luck getting GE to run on Ubuntu. I'm just downloading it to try it again. If I get it working and I get some time I'll have a play with making the FF extension able to launch it. Yeah, sorry Otto. As you guessed I didn’t read the comments :)

It would also be a better example of what you propose the GeoURI to be." That isn't available for Firefox/Linux. The original add-on has very little practical value as I explained in my first reaction the same (or at least very similar) thing can be done without any add-on. BTW, I do understand that it is supposed to be a proof of concept. I am just saying it would be a better proof of concept if it launched Google Earth instead of redirecting to Google Maps. Like yours but then for my setup. Andy,

It also introduces comparison issues (Is a geo: URI of the same location, just a fraction of a second later, still the same URI?) Regarding "planet": The term "geographical" refers by itself already to our planet earth, and i suppose that mainstream use cases for identifying locations on other astronomical objects are way out of scope (at least in the next few years).
