I am trying to generate driving directions using lat/longs, which
works great, except that the sidebar directions list the destinations
ambiguously like "Riggs Rd" instead of as a complete address like "5
Riggs Rd" or even "5 Riggs Rd, Fredericksburg, VA 22401".  Though the
directions themselves are correct, the ambiguous address reference can
be confusing to the user.

http://maps.google.com/maps?t=m&saddr=38.336209,-77.443091+to:+38.315415,-77.424694+to:+38.384038,-77.376848&z=11&pw=2

Of course I can ask google to reverse geo-code my coordinates and pass
the addresses in, but often my generated directions exceed 15 stops
and it just doesn't seem necessary to load google's servers for
information that I already have.

Mapki says after my saddr, "Any text added in brackets is displayed in
the sidebar in bold."  To me this sounds like I can add the address
myself to my google REST call while keeping my marker parameters as
lat/long, but I cannot get this to work and cannot find examples
anywhere.  I have also seen references to this same functionality as a
part of the latlng google class, but again, no examples.

>From the references I would think that I can add bracketed text like
"...38.336209,-77.443091+[text]+to:...", but this doesn't work and I
am definitely missing an important detail.

For working examples of my problem, please reference

Any help would be appreciated!
