Google Addin

This is an ESRI Add-In, Google Map Channels tool. You may close your arc products and double click the tool to install or place the file in a folder and use the Add-Ins option folder in ArcMap. When you restart Arcmap make sure to check the Google Extension(this causes the tool to be inoperable when in layout). To use this tool click on the tool then click in your map somewhere near a road your default internet explorer will open Google map channels at the place you clicked. Beware of the direction, direction is not coded in the tool so you may have to pan around to face the desired direction. Enjoy

@Wes - Could you post the .py file that you used to make the tool? It works great. I have a few ideas that I would like to add to it if possible. Thanks
