You can just choose not to use the setPanel() method that's provided with the DirectionsRenderer, and simply inspect the DirectionsResult object to display the textual directions however you like.
This example doesn't use a panel: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/directions-simple.html (linked from here<http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#DisplayingResults> ). And then this section of the documentation explain how to examine the DirectionsResult, so you can display them however you like (i.e. event handlers not linked to the map): http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#InspectingResults -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
