Fellow users of Rails,

I am working on an app that needs to allow people to create a camping  
location. They would need to add a placemarker via google maps to get  
a longitude/latitude. This is easy to store in two decimal fields. My  
problem is I am unsure what to use to generate directions for others  
to use, eg: “how to get to X from Y”. Google Maps doesn’t have the  
routing support available at this time.

Any input on plugins/links/tutorials/etc would be greatly appreciated.
