Google map with directions

[nobbyy]

Hi all

I have tried without success to create a Google map that shows a business location and allows the input of a customers location for Google to work out the distance and directions.

Has anyone been able to do this?

Not tried it but it works pretty well HERE

See the Create Google Maps Form section

Thanks Egg - that was really helpful! (as always).

Found this one particularly easy to use: http://malevolent.com/weblog/archive...d-google-maps/

Only downside is that it opens directions in a new page rather than a 'window' in the 'home' site.

That's far better than the one I pointed out. I couldn't get the one I used to work in the UK.

Sorry to ask another really obvious question, but is it possible to change the font and font colour in the submission box?

From the very basic code I cant see where you could alter it.

Not my field but searching on tinternet place this in your head section:

<style type="text/css">

textarea {
width: 300px;
height: 5em;
}

input, select, label, textarea {
font-size: 200%;
}

</style>
