Driving Directions, powered by Google Maps©

Driving Directions, powered by Google Maps, are a great way to add an inexpensive feature to your website that allows your users to find you from virtually anywhere in the world.

How it works:

A visitor will go to your driving directions section of your website, enter in their address into a web form and within seconds they are given an interactive map with turn by turn directions.  The map includes their address, your address and all points inbetween. With the click of a mouse, the user can zoom in, zoom out, or change the centerpoint of the map view.  Below the map, they are given a numbered list of every turn needed to get from their door to yours, all without having any communication with anyone at your office.

In many cases, receptionists will simply referr to the website for directions, rather than trying to explain the ins and outs of getting to your place of business.


Sitepro can also customize this map view to include multiple destinations, custom pushpin images, interactive info bubbles and much more.
