Idea/Request for Sherlock channel... integrated mapping

Okay, after spending way too many clicks, drags, etc trying to get directions to someone's house, I thought of the following:



The Yellow Pages channel allows you to select your 'home' address as a point from which to get directions. I'd like to see a simple channel that lets me choose any two people/companies in my Address Book, then select the addresses, then toddle off, get the map and directions, and display it.



Not a White Pages to look up addresses, but simply a mapper for people's address I already have.



Anyone know of one that already exists?

    You can do that with Yahoo. Add people to your Yahoo AddresBook, go to maps.yahoo.com and you'll be able to pick their addresses.

    See, I don't see the reason to add them to multiple places. I already have them in my Address Book, why on earth should I have to enter them *again* into a Yahoo/MapQuest/MyLittleMapper Address Book? Bleah.



    I already have a few places in Mapquest, but it struck me tonight that this is what Sherlock is *for*. It provides the link between local data (Address Book) and web services.



    So, no one has a ready solution for this? Guess it's time to investigate the Sherlock SDK...
