Google gave an example http://googlemapsapi.blogspot.com/2007/05/driving-directions-support-added-to.html

Is the source code available somewhere or a tutorial on that precise example ?

+3  A: 

Here's a very basic example using the v3 API:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html> 
<head> 
   <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> 
   <title>Google Maps API v3 Directions Example</title> 
   <script type="text/javascript" 
           src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</head> 
<body style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"> 
   <div style="width: 600px;">
     <div id="map" style="width: 280px; height: 400px; float: left;"></div> 
     <div id="panel" style="width: 300px; float: right;"></div> 
   </div>

   <script type="text/javascript"> 

     var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
     var directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();

     var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
       zoom:7,
       mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
     });

     directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
     directionsDisplay.setPanel(document.getElementById('panel'));

     var request = {
       origin: 'Chicago', 
       destination: 'New York',
       travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
     };

     directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
       if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
         directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
       }
     });
   </script> 
</body> 
</html>

Thank you that's exactly what I wanted: the minimalistic example for learning.
