Take a look at this map: http://bit.ly/9dDep5
Let's say that you want to find the nearest intersections from World Trade Center, which on the map is marker "B". Then look at the directions written on the left and you will find "Turn right at Fulton St" and "Head northeast on Church St toward Vesey St". >From this point you have to read the API how to extract the direction results and how to start a route from the northern point of the map to the southern. Is difficult, but not impossible at all.
