Is there an easy way to create a flight plan using a street address?

After the Holiday I am going to take a friend flying and he gave me 4
addresses he wants to fly over and get some pictures. It would sure
be nice if I could just use some google earth thing to punch in the
addresses and use it to help with my flight planning... Is there
anything out there that would help me with this? I suppose I could
plug the addresses into my AirMap 1000 and use that....

Yahoo maps works pretty similar. Punch in the address... Click "go"
The URL contains the lat and long in itself.

For Instance:
1600 Pennsylvania, Washington, DC on Yahoo Maps comes back to

http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&q1=1600...8.898548&mag=3


see the "&lon=-77.037206&lat=38.898548&" in the middle of all that?

By the way.. I highly recommend you do not try to fly to that particular
coordinate unless you like seeing F-16's in slow flight formation with
you...
