Google Maps API Email Directional Mail

I used the Google Maps API to create a map with a custom input field that displays directions to a fixed address after the user submits the starting point on the form. Now I would like the user to be able to send a link to Google maps with instructions already included by email or to another person. This functionality already exists on regular Google maps, but I don’t believe that anything was built into the API to reproduce this. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts?

PS, sorry, I can’t include a link to the site because it is not already running, and I don’t think that my client wants everyone to look at their new site before it is finished :). However, I will try to clarify as much as necessary if someone is confused. Thanks.

You can simply create a link filled with your code.

http://maps.google.com/maps?&q=1000+Some+Street,+City,+NC+to+1000+Some+Other+Street,+City,+CA

This will open for Google Maps and will automatically receive directions.

Set rights, you can create the correct URL for the Google Map service, knowing the correct parameters. This resource contains several url formats.

My personal favorite:

 https://www.google.com/maps/dir/<start-location>/<other-location>

You can use it with an address or latitude / longitude, for example:

  https://www.google.com/maps/dir/48.856614,2.352222/52.520007,13.404954
