I believe they mean in http://maps.google.co.uk if you ask it for directions between two places you'll get a list of directions.

As to how to answer this I can't say. The Google Maps API is probably the place to start but those things always seem hella complicated to me.

Hi Prasad,

Can you confirm that what I said (directions from Google Maps) is what you're trying to get?

If so can you confirm you've been through the Google Maps API http://code.google.com/apis/maps/ to try to find a solution?

i will explain what i nee exactly.

just open this link http://maps.google.com/ then click on get direction
then you see the two text boxes with lebels as A, B.
Enter the places in both text boxes then click on get direction.
Then on the google map it displays the path between the give places and the left side it displays the directions.
Here I need to store that directions information into mysql database.

I am able to display the path and directions in my application ,but I am unable to store that directions in to database.

if any body knows give the suggestions..

Well how are you doing that? If you can display the information, that must mean you know how to retrieve it. At that point, it's just regular data you should be able to INSERT like any other data.
