FireCompass Description

FireCompass will allow streamlined access to the main map and driving directions services Buttons are made available in this address entry UI for: · obtaining a map at the left address, · obtaining a map at the right address, · obtaining driving directions from the left address to the right address, and · obtaining driving directions from the right address to the left address. Of course, the user should be able to close the tool. A cancel button may be provided for convenience, though the window's close button may be sufficient (especially for the initial submission). The tool allows the user to save a list of addresses for use in later queries. This list is stored as a user preference associated with the extension. Above each of the two address fields in the address entry UI, there is a dropdown that allows the user to choose an address to prepopulate the corresponding address field with. (Each stored address is represented in the dropdown by a name the user assigns.) Another dropdown exists for the user to select which service to use, between Google, MapQuest, and Yahoo. Via a "preferences" button, the user may access another UI window for adjusting user preferences. User preferences stored are: · an address stiring, · an optional designation of a default address to pre-populate the left address field with in the address entry UI, and · the default service to be selected in the service dropdown in the address entry UI. When the user opts to receive driving directions, a new window pops up consisting of the expected driving steps involved, as fetched from the selected service. A link also appears to the webpage the information was obtained from.
