I agree with the user notification. I was thinking (hoping) that the the menu entries could be changed dynamically, but I can see where that might not be enough. Adding a pop-up when the maps are selected would run into the same issues that drove me to create the new extension, but maybe there is another way/time to inform the user of the change. What about something on the status bar?
