I am trying to build a store locator that has the “to here” and “from here” options on the marker pop-ups. I have yet to find a locator tutorial with this feature, and I hope someone can point to one that I’ve missed or help me in combining two scripts. I found two excellent tutorials that, together, do exactly what I need. The first is found at: http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=87134&topic=11364 It works wonderfully for the main map – I have it connected to a MySQL database with the store locations, recentered it as needed, and putting in a zip code or address shows the locations correctly. Using my feeble PHP and MySQL abilities, I was able to modify it slightly to add more information (e.g., I added phone number and category to the database, and have category show up in the sidebar and phone number in the marker). The second is found at: http://www.mandladventures.com/2006/05/04/google-maps-api/ This map has the “to here” and “from here” directions link when a marker is clicked. I can see where the directions code exists in the second script, and can (marginally) follow what it’s doing. However, combining the two scripts — figuring out what exactly to copy, where to paste it, and how to modify the first script — is proving beyond my current abilities. (As is figuring out how to apply Gdirections or other tools noted at the end of the first tutorial.) I am completely new to JavaScript. I have taught myself enough HTML, PHP, and MySQL over the past couple years to “get by”, in that I can write basic things such as survey pages, document libraries, etc., but am just starting the process of learning JavaScript. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
