Barry Hunter further extends woowoowoo’s excellent gMaps2kml bookmark so that you no longer need too click on “Link to this page” in Maps before using it to convert your view in Maps to Google Earth.
Here it is: gMaps2kml. (Drag it to your bookmark bar and use it with Google Maps sites.)

PS. It’s hard to type woowoowoo with a straight face.
