Travel Directions Service

The Travel Directions service provides step-by-step driving and walking directions from one address to another. It is available in a number of countries and languages. When combined with In-line or Storefinder, it helps users get to the outlets of their choice. Alternatively, Travel Directions can be implemented as a general route-planner. The following example of the service - implemented by Ford - shows a route from Munich to Felsberg, Germany.

1: Travel Directions Form

• Having entered a search for a nearby dealership by postcode, user selects an item from the list of those delivered by Multimap's Storefinder service.
• The dealership's address is pre-filled, as the service is integrated with Storefinder.
• User enters the journey start-point.
• The service accommodates non-unique place names and common misspellings by prompting users for further information, if necessary.

2: Travel Directions Results

• Trail of route is represented by numbered icons on a map, and appears as a list of text directions. The route can also be represented as a highlighted route.
• Cumulative distance and time for journey are calculated.
• User can access a separate, more detailed map of each step of the journey.
