jqDirect

jqDirect is a minimalistic plugin for jQuery that gets Google Map directions from one address to another. Having a map on the page is totally optional. Take a look at index.html for examples or check out the demo.

Usage

Example 1

This example does the following:

• Creates a Google map
• Adds a marker at the specified address

HTML:

<div id="map-canvas"></div>

JS:

$('#map-canvas').jqDirect({
	to: 'Raleigh, NC'
});

Example 2

Example with directions * this example could be triggered on some event... like a form submit():

// Use $({}) if we don't have/want a map
$('#map-canvas').jqDirect('calcRoute', {
	'from': 'Boston, MA', 

	// You can specify a different 'to' address (* by default it uses the one you set above )
	// 'to': '123 Some other st., Mars, Universe',

	// Where should the list of directions output?
	'output': $('#directions-output')
});
