This could easily be used for a business-type directory if there was a way to allow costum fields for address to link to google maps
ie...
http://local.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=[street address field1]+[city field]+[state field]+[zip field]
Is this hard to do?

You could add those custom fields, and then edit your 'ADV_LINKS_SHOWLINK' template to include some code that looked something like this:
<a href="http://local.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=$link[field1]+$link[field2]+$link[field3]+$link[field4]">Google Map</a>
Of course you'll need to change 'field1', 'field2', and etc to match the filedid's on your site.
