i am using toolset maps to create a custom post type for a client's store locations. each location of course has a map + associated address. is there a way for an end user to get directions to a selected location? i didn't see any native support with the plugin so was wondering if i was missing something or of there was a workaround. thanks in advance.

There isn't such a feature, I'm afraid, you are not missing anything.

We already have an internal ticket about implementing this, and it is just a question of developer resources.

I'm adding your thread to the internal ticket so that they are aware of the demand.

What you can do is to make a link to open in Google Maps, for example, where the user would then have the usual options available, including getting directions.

Something like:

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em> field='address'][/types]">Open in Google maps</a>

My issue is a wishlist item as of this initial posting date. Going to try a workaround.

Hi, I did this by making a button, and in the url field, I added the following:

hidden link field='address'][/types]
I apparently can't add an actual link here (??) so you'll have to do a Google search for direct links to addresses.

Change the types field to whatever your address field is called.

This works for me.
