The following sample shows how to display Google Map directions using geographical coordinates (i.e. longitude and latitude) with the googleDirections plugin.

Instead of using addresses when with the googleDirections plugin, you can also use the geographical coordinates (i.e. longitude and latitude) if you have them.

To insert a Google Map with directions using longitude and latitude, use the following syntax:

{googleDir 
from="Google Inc.~37.4219720,-122.0841430" 
to="Yahoo Inc.~37.4163228,-122.0250403"}

Note: The foramt for from and to is: label, followed by '~', and then then latitude and longitude.

Very Important! This feature only works with googleDirections plugin version 1.04/1.54 and above.

Code used:

{googleDir width=400 height=360 dir_on_right=1 
from="Google Inc.~37.4219720,-122.0841430" 
to="Yahoo Inc.~37.4163228,-122.0250403"}
