linking to the "Get directions"

[edward]

Hi

I have used the "Get directions" functionality - and its great. here -
http://www.brig.ee-web.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7&Itemid=11

However, I now have to add a "Print facility" and it was decided the
quickest thing might be to link from the site straight through to the
google page that shows the directions (ie with the to and from boxes
filled out). This will then give the user all the options - like add
one or two "mini maps" etc for tricky bits.

Can anyone suggest what might be the easiest way of acheiving this. I
guess I need to construct the appropriate link?

Thanks

E

See Mike Williams' (v2) tutorial, it has examples of doing that (and
that part isn't API specific):
