Question

How to query Google Maps for directions with discrete address components?

Answer 1

A:

Google maps will ignore the parameters it doesn't recognize so you can create the address in saddr and send the other parameters too.

?saddr=100+Main+St+Anytown,+PA+02154&scity=Anytown&sstate=PA&szip=02154

Unfortunately, I can't put the city, state and zip in the address string. I can only get the four components separately, and assign each to an arbitrary querystring parameter.

What's the reason you can't change the parameters?

I'm looking for a way to do this with configuration, that doesn't require shipping new code to customers. I may be able to rearrange the fields with Javascript before submitting the form, but it would be much nicer if there were some set of parameters that Google Maps would accept.
