Is there a way to add driving directions to my site?

Thanks!

The cheap answer is to type them in. More seriously, Volantis built a framework “widget” (for more about the Volantis widget framework, see http://opensource.volantis.com/article/framework_demo) which displayed Google maps, and UBIK in turn had it enabled through a “section” (one of the areas you can drag and drop into a page when you customise a page). But we’re prevented from making it available by Google’s legal restrictions. We’re looking at enabling someone else’s mapping API instead but it may take a while.

Mark,

What about ‘driving directions’? Same issue?

Hi Bruce,

as dynamic driving directions would be based on Google mapping API, it actually means same restrictions apply. As Mark mentioned, we’re looking into it, but don’t have estimate on availability at the moment.

Thanks! Appreciate your explanation on this, and look forward to the feature when it becomes available.
