This week Google launched a new Google Maps gadget called the directions gadget, which lets businesses offer customized Google Maps directions to their locations. This means you no longer have to type and update multiple sets of text directions.
"Let's face it: customers are only looking for directions from their specific location," says Julie Zhou, Product Marketing Manager, Google Maps.
All you have to do is copy and paste a line of code add the gadget to your site:
You can pre-fill the "to" field with your address. The gadget comes with a print option so customers can easily print the directions if they want further assistance in locating your business.

Gadget for Google Maps
Astonishing what they come up with for these new applications. I was against Google Maps initially, I though it was intrusive. However, I have changed my mind. Vincent
Very cool
Nice! I can think of a dozen things I am going to use this on.
inaccurate
Interestingly, it pointed to our address 3 miles away from where it should have been. On Google maps it work perfectly, but this gadget misinterpreted our address. I was excited to implement, but as it is inaccurate I won't.
I agree
Have the exact same issue. Can't put that on the site as is. Odd that the one on google maps works flawlessly, but the SAME input on the gadget fails. :(
