The “Driving Directions” gadget from Google is another great utility gadget for your iGoogle page.
In the home view, the gadget does not take up much screen real estate at all. It is designed to allow you simply input your starting point, destination and then get directions.
The directions are showcased in the canvas view. In this view, you can adjust your starting and end point, see your directions, see a map view of the directions and even a street view of your directions.
I love how everything is neatly packaged together in the gadget. There are however, two options, missing from this gadget. There’s needs to be an email option and a print option.
Do you already have this gadget on your iGoogle page? If not, will you be adding it?
