// @description:fr Ce script remet le bouton google maps, rend les cartes de recherche (grandes/mini et micro) cliquables et ajoute le bouton Open in Maps (Ouvrir sur Maps) aux grandes cartes. Il se peut qu'il ne fonctionne plus dans quelques mois et qu'une mise à jour soit nécessaire, alors n'hésitez pas à le mettre à jour quand vous le souhaitez, pour ma part je le ferai dès que possible.
