(Note: I've written a separate script for eBay: eBay on Google Maps)

This script can be invoked from any webpage by holding down ALT, CTRL and SHIFT and then pressing the M key(*). It will then search the current page source for all UK postal codes and display these on a Google Map in a new tab or window (**). Each postcode is identified by a letter corresponding to each marker on the map. These ([A], [B] etc.) are also added to the webpage itself in bold - see screenshots below.

(*) The shortcut key combination can easily be changed by a simple edit to the constants at the top of the script.
(**) Popups may need to be enabled to allow this

Screenshots:



The postcodes are displayed on the map using the "Get Directions" feature, enabling them all to be displayed using a single URL.
