I've been saying that I hate OS X Dashboard, some folks have agreed more or less. The point though, is not that there's anything inherently wrong with Dashboard as a concept, but rather that the potential hasn't really been tapped by the widget makers.

So I'm pleased to announce that WG author David Lindquist has released a new widget that really makes sense. Check out: Google Maps Widget. Yes, I know, google maps is just a URL away, but as soon as you try this widget out, you'll see how much time it saves to not have to load the maps page prior to entering your target location, it's a lot quicker - and definitely worth a download.
