Automagical Driving Directions

As I alluded to the other day NoBMoB now has the ability to generate you automatic driving directions to each ride's meeting place. Kindof handy if you are a newbie to the ride, haven't been there for a while, or just have a terrible memory.

Of course to do this, it needs to know where you want to start from, presumably this will be your home, but maybe some place else like work, your riding buddy's place, etc.

Either way, to take advantage of this, goto your profile (or click the "my account" link on the left there) and edit it. Under the "Who you are" sub-tab there's a field, "Directions Starting Address"... fill it in away you go. If the ride database authors have been doing there job there should now be links to a plain old map and also directions under the "Meeting Point" field.

This is using Google Maps (so be sure it understands the address you enter), which can be a bit flakey right now - see the bad example - but I'm sure they are working on it as I write!
