Gmail and Buzz Now Embed Google Maps, For Cartography in Conversations

You'll notice a set of links at the bottom of any mail with an address: one that opens the preview within the e-mail, and another that opens the map in a new window. In Buzz, pasting a Google Maps link in your Buzz box (or whatever you want to call it) automatically generates an image preview of the location on a map. Pretty sweet. Check it out by clicking on the little green beaker in the upper right-hand corner of Gmail to edit your labs settings. [From: Gmail Blog, via: Read Write Web]

Of course, these maps are a feature of Gmail - that is to say, they are generated for Gmail users from addresses found in incoming mail - you can't embed maps in an outgoing message to a non-Gmail user.
