I'm not familiar with the @ format, but the replacement isn't too
difficult. As they said, you just modify the start_address contained
within the DirectionsLeg object, BEFORE you send it to
directionsDisplay. Something like this:
directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
response.routes[0].legs[0].start_address = "John's Place";
directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
...
Remember that one of the good features of the directionsService is
that it figures out where you CAN start from (usually on the street).
So if you enter the lat/lng of "My back door," it will not give
directions FROM your back door, but rather from the street in front of
your house. So replace the "start_address" with some thought. Not
sure? You can look at the start_location in the DirectionsLeg object.
