This search generates maps and directions, using MapBlast's LineDrive directions feature. This file is a straightforward edit of Peter Heath's MapQuest directions (called "dir"). At present, maps and directions default to the USA, just as with "dir". I hope to add syntax and options that allow international directions to work. For example, MapBlast supports these directions requests on the web page: Washington, DC, USA to Toronto, Canada London, United Kingdom to Glasgow, United Kingdom Paris, France to Rome, Italy
I could use some suggestions on how to express an address with the country name, so that it could be parsed reliably. I thought about using the word "in" to separate the country name. For example, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC in USA Paris in France to Rome in Italy That's not so reliable, considering that "in" is the abbreviation for the USA state of Indiana. I would also like to add multiple stop capability to the search, but I haven't figured out the syntax for that either. Ideas? Suggestions? Other features that belong in this search? Maybe you really, really like MapBlast's standard directions, and you need a switch for that? Perhaps you want to search by phone number (yes, it's supported) or landmark? Do you need the nearest ice cream or coffee shop labeled on the map? Regards, Gregory Krohne Sometimes I worry I'll develop Alzheimer's disease, but no one will notice.
