Google Maps Directions Feature Added

June 14, 2008

As part of my efforts to improve the functionality of the site and make it more useful to you, I have now added a "Directions" feature to the Google map that is generated for each alley.

Below the map, you will see a form field. Enter your address into that form field, click the "Get Directions!" button beside the field, and that's it! The map will change to a "Point A to Point B" map with a purple line outlining the suggested route, and you will also receive a series of step-by-step directions to help you as well!

Google Maps does require Javascript to take advantage of the functionality. If you do not have Javascript enabled or you do not see a "map/directions" menu option when you navigate to a bowling alley listing, you will need to enable Javascript. Tizag.com has a simple tutorial on how to enable Javascript in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera.
