Adding Directions "To Here" and "From Here" links to multiple locations

Hi

I'm setting up a map that shows numerous locations and am adding a form so the user can enter their starting point.

I would then like to add the ability for the user to click on a location on the map and have that location become the destination address for the driving directions.

I've searched around for a solution to do this and am now currently toying around with the idea of some hidden form fields (eg 'toAddress') and trying to populate these by javascript using GEvent listeners.

I want to make sure I'm not re-inventing the wheel first though!!

Does Pro Maps for Google already have this ability, or does anyone know if this ability is already documented somewhere (eg on the Google Maps API website)???

Thanks in advance.
Steve

We dont really have any documentation on how to accomplish this in Pro maps for google, but something similar has been done in the power store demo site:

Great, thanks, will give it a go (funnily have just purchased PowerStore to assist with another project).
