Yes. But to put javascript in a webpage, you have to 'own' the webpage, you can't use maps.google.com. So you have to build your own map and bits and pieces (like the get=directions form) in your own webpage, using the Maps API in javascript or Flash. Be warned this isn't easy if you have no experience. You can get a feel for the level of coding required here - http://econym.org.uk/gmap/ > How can I just view the google map directions, without the map. As above! There are terms and conditions attached to the service, you need to check if the purpose you want all this for is actually allowed. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
