Google Maps HTTP API for driving and walking directions?

There is no documented and approved method at the moment to access the Google Maps Directions API via an HTTP request (update: Google added walking and driving directions via web services in May, 2010). Nevertheless, an undocumented method that returns a JSON output is the following: maps.google.com/maps/nav?q=from:London%2... The format of the q parameter should be from:xxx%20to:yyy. Replace xxx and yyy with the start and destination respectively.

You can use a latitude and a longitude instead of full addresses. By default this request returns driving directions. To get walking directions you can add the optional parameter dirflg=w to the query-string.(Source) Note that not only this is undocumented, but it may also violate the restrictions 10.1 and 10.5 of the Google Maps API Terms and Conditions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
