    Hi,

    With the initialopendirections option, you can open the directions and specify the “to” location as a number (0 is the first POI, 1 is the second, etc.):

    [mappress initialopendirections="0"]

    If you want *both* locations filled in it’s trickier:

    1) Modify the directions.php template and enter the default addresses in the input form, then use initialopendirections=”true” to open the directions when the map is displayed. This will still require the user to click the ‘get directions’ button and it’ll always use the same 2 locations.

    2) Use javascript:

    // Open directions between two addresses:
    mapp0.openDirections("first address", "second address");
    
    // Open directions between two pois:
    mapp0.openDirections(0, 1);
    
    // Click the 'directions' button to get the route:
    jQuery('mapp-dir-get', 'mapp0_directions').click();
    

    Note: each map has a name – “mapp0” is the default for the first map on the page. You can override the name using the “name” option in the shortcode:
