Sending Information for Driving Directions

[Matt Shudy]

Hi,

I know I have seen this before, but don't remember where
and can't figure out how to do it. I want a page on my
website that the user can type in their location and hit
submit, that will take them to mapquest or a similar
directions provider to give them driving directions to my
place. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks,

Matt Shudy

Visit MapQuest and look for the link about using their maps on your site.

I've looked at that site, but can't seem to make it work...
I want the user to be able to enter their schools address
so they can get a map to my school. The only thing listed
on mapquest is to get a map of the surround area of a
single city which you enter (i have not been able to make
this work with a form either). I am trying to use asp
code to request the information from the form, is that a
good way to go about it?

Thanks

You have to go to MapQuest and enter the location for your school, then
follow the instructions for inserting the map on your site, then create a
link back to your map on MapQuest, there the user can enter their location
and get direction to your school.

If you try pass the info to MapQuest using their instructions, you would
only be creating a make based on the info entered into your form, not to
your school.
