… after installing the latest Google Maps Plugin update, uninstall the old version:

/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/BTGoogleMaps.bundle
/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/BTGoogleEarth.bundle
/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/BTGoogleDirections.bundle
/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/BTGooglePreferences.bundle
/Library/Frameworks/GoogleMapsShared.framework

As per the last news post, this upgrade is only necessary if you use Address Book in 32-bit mode in Snow Leopard. It does not add any new features or fixes.

For the Plugin users coming from MacUpdate or VersionTracker: I don’t read those sites at all. I don’t update the content on those sites, they post the updates themselves (whether I’d like them to or not). Please don’t leave comments on MacUpdate and VersionTracker with support questions, I will not answer them there. Thanks.

Fixed a bug with Snow Leopard users running Address Book in 32-bit mode.

Also, ditched the Apple Installer package for my custom installer that I use with PostCheck. It simply moves the plugins and the required framework to your personal Library folder. If you used the previous installer and installed for All Users… uninstall the previous version first or it won’t work.

If you don’t run Address Book in 32-bit mode in Snow Leopard, you don’t need to upgrade, nothing else is new.

PostCheck 1.9.2 fixes a bug with saving certain preferences. I’ve also whipped up a custom installer. Apple’s installer is too picky about permissions and authorization and not very suitable for a simple install-in-home-folder situation. If you’ve previously installed PostCheck for all users of your computer, you can either manually install the plugin in the Address Book Plug-Ins folder, or remove the shared plugin and install this new version in your personal Library.
