Any reason Directions would not work?

Any reasons where Directions won't work? Tried setting this up from scratch multiple times and still nothing. My old v2 site works fine but trying to move to the new API version.

Map shows but no function to load directions.

You probably need to use an API Key and enable the directions api from your google manager. Google recently moved the separate pieces of the map api into separate modules that have to be enabled individually for a given project key.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

I do have an API key newly generated and Geocoding, Geolocation and Directions in place.

Your button is type="button" not type="submit". It never submits the form.

If you update the button type the directions work.

Ray, thanks...

My old form used a function to fire the directions : onclick="newDirections(this.form)"

Really appreciate your help with this. I owe you one.

Just a suggestion but change the Pro Maps dialog to allow percentages as this will better work with mobile / responsive designs.

It's not a problem to manually flip back to pixel to use the extension but the less support and ease for users the better.
