Google has enabled Google Maps previews within Gmail and Buzz. Once the feature is enabled by the user, Gmail automatically generates previews of places mentioned in an e-mail. The feature can be turned on from the Google Labs tab under Gmail settings.
Though previews for locations anywhere in the world are supported when triggered by a Google Maps URL contained in the e-mail, they are restricted to the US when only the address and not the URL is mentioned. But support for addresses in other parts of the world can't be far off as Google is working on it.
As for Buzz, pasting a Google Maps link in the post box will “automatically fetch an image preview of that location that you can associate with your post.”
