Hi, something strange happens.
Try this search:
http://www.google.it/maps?ie=UTF8&f=d&dirflg=r&saddr=43.58915709303116,%2011.121768951416016&daddr=43.6951523,11.1054634&ttype=dep&date=19%2F10%2F09&time=18%3A45&hl=en

Is not working.


This is the italian version:
http://www.google.it/maps?ie=UTF8&f=d&dirflg=r&saddr=43.58915709303116,%2011.121768951416016&daddr=43.6951523,11.1054634&ttype=dep&date=19%2F10%2F09&time=18%3A45&hl=it

and is working. Working also French, Spanish or German...

http://www.google.it/maps?ie=UTF8&f=d&dirflg=r&saddr=43.58915709303116,%2011.121768951416016&daddr=43.6951523,11.1054634&ttype=dep&date=19%2F10%2F09&time=18%3A45&hl=fr

http://www.google.it/maps?ie=UTF8&f=d&dirflg=r&saddr=43.58915709303116,%2011.121768951416016&daddr=43.6951523,11.1054634&ttype=dep&date=19%2F10%2F09&time=18%3A45&hl=es

http://www.google.it/maps?ie=UTF8&f=d&dirflg=r&saddr=43.58915709303116,%2011.121768951416016&daddr=43.6951523,11.1054634&ttype=dep&date=19%2F10%2F09&time=18%3A45&hl=de

The only thing that change in these URL is last parameter "hl".
Is it a bug or I miss something? English version work only if you
reclick on button "Search map" on the page... unfortunately it set a
Javascript parameter and does not change the URL.
I'd like to link this service from company my website.

Thanks

Hi itgab,

Thanks for the report.

The URLs that you provided have the date and time of the query
encoded; unfortunately, the way that those URL parameters are parsed
depends on the locale. If you omit the "&date=" parameter, it works
fine:
http://www.google.it/maps?ie=UTF8&f=d&dirflg=r&saddr=43.58915709303116,%2011.121768951416016&daddr=43.6951523,11.1054634&ttype=dep&time=18%3A45&hl=en

We're aware of this issue, and we plan to improve the generation of
links to public transit results to avoid the problem in the future.

Thanks,
Joe Hughes
