As much as I have tried, I cannot find a way to get the 'Directions' option of Google Maps to work. The basic code I am trying to use is:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&am%20p;saddr=/*source address*/&daddr=/*target address*/

The Google Maps page comes up, but only with a map of the target, it doesn't give me the directions pane.

I figured out the problem, I had to remove bits of the URL string and now it works. The correct code is:

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr={start_address}&daddr={destination_address}
