It is "Driving Directions".  Geocoding is taking an address and
getting its latitude and longitude.  Both the Driving directions and
the geocoding functions have quotas and "speed limits".  If your
addresses are known (the parking lots and building of your school)
there is no benefit to geocoding.  If it is a user's address, then
there shouldn't be any problem with using the geocoder (but geocoders
are not particularly reliable).
