Help visitors get to you. Every MapPress map can show a directions link in its popups and location list, and the route opens in Google Maps with turn-by-turn directions. It’s free, and works whichever map engine your site uses.
Try it: click a location, then Get Directions.
How it works
- Directions link. Show “Get Directions” in popups, in the location list, or both.
- Straight to Google Maps. The link opens the route to that location in Google Maps, on desktop or in the phone’s Maps app.
- Or ask for a starting point first. Inline directions show a small from/to box on the map, starting from the visitor’s location, with a button to swap the direction.
- Your own wording. Change the link text, for example to “Plan your visit”.
- Any map engine. Directions work on OpenStreetMap, Google Maps and Mapbox maps.
Add it to your site
- In MapPress › Settings › Directions, choose Google or Inline.
- Choose whether the link shows in popups, the list, or both, and optionally change its text.
