Driving Directions Not Showing With Destination Address as Coordinates

Driving Directions Not Showing With Destination Address as Coordinates

I am using lat/long to show the destination and using the visitor's city,province/state and country from their IP to be the default 'from' address. If I pass a street address as the destination, it gives driving directions but when I provide lat/long, the point on the map is exact but the driving directions don't render...

Is there any way to show driving directions to a lat/long when the origin is a city/state/country (with the option for a user to input their street address)?

** NOTE: WHEN VAR ADDRESS_0 IS POPULATED THE DIRECTIONS WORK FINE BUT THE PIN IS NOT EXACT... WHICH IS WHY I USE LAT/LONG FOR MY RURAL ADDRESSES... IF I BLANK OUT THESE VALUES, THE MAPPING IS PERFECT BUT NO DRIVING DIRECTIONS APPEAR

Below is my section of code that I think is pertinent:

function wagmp_map_3() {
if(GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
if(!document.getElementById('wagmp_map_3')) return false;
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById('wagmp_map_3'));
wagmp_map_3_obj = new WAMapRef(map);
map.enableContinuousZoom();
map.enableDoubleClickZoom();
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();

var fromAddress = {
enabled: true,
street: '<?php echo str_replace("'", "\'", "".$_SESSION['mystreet'] .""); ?>',
city: '<?php echo str_replace("'", "\'", "".$_SESSION['mycity'] .""); ?>',
state: '<?php echo str_replace("'", "\'", "".$_SESSION['myprovince'] .""); ?>',
zip: '',
country: '<?php echo str_replace("'", "\'", "".$_SESSION["country"] .""); ?>',
full: '<?php echo $_SESSION['mystreet'].",".$_SESSION['mycity'].",".$_SESSION['myprovince'].",".$_SESSION["country"]; ?>'
};

var icon_0 = new GIcon();
icon_0.image = 'google_javascript/images/traditionalflat_pacifica.png';
icon_0.shadow = 'google_javascript/images/traditionalflat_shadow.png';
icon_0.iconSize = new GSize(34,35);
icon_0.shadowSize = new GSize(34,35);
icon_0.iconAnchor = new GPoint(9,33);
icon_0.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(19,0);
icon_0.printImage = 'google_javascript/images/traditionalflat_pacifica.gif';
icon_0.mozPrintImage = 'google_javascript/images/traditionalflat_pacifica_mozprint.png';
icon_0.printShadow = 'google_javascript/images/traditionalflat_shadow.gif';
icon_0.transparent = 'google_javascript/images/traditionalflat_pacifica_transparent.png';

var address_0 = {
street: '',
city: '',
state: '',
zip: '',
country: '',
infowindow: 'custom',
infowindowtext: '<span style="font: 12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black;"><?php echo str_replace("'", "\'", "<strong>Address:</strong><br />".$row_dealermap['street_address'] ."<br />".$row_dealermap['city'] .", ".$row_dealermap['province'] ." ".$row_dealermap['country'] .""); ?></span>',
full: '<?php echo str_replace("'", "\'", "".$row_dealermap['street_address'] .""); ?>, <?php echo str_replace("'", "\'", "".$row_dealermap['city'] .""); ?>, <?php echo str_replace("'", "\'", "".$row_dealermap['province'] .""); ?>, <?php echo str_replace("'", "\'", "".$row_dealermap['country'] .""); ?>',

var cacheReturn = '';

var cacheReturn = searchCache(address_0.full, address_0.zip);

var longitude = address_0.longitude;
} else {

I just tried a test with driving directions using coordinates for the destination and only city state zip for the starting address which worked without a problem.

Can you post a link to your page so I can look into the problem you are having.
