I have an address where the default destination takes drivers over a
large railroad crossing, I would prefer to have them avoid that, what
(if any is the process for altering the default route a user is
displayed when using the directions to/from feature?
So I guess the question is how to I create a custom set of directions?
Is this even possible?
You just need to add an internmediate point, like:
saddr=29.377201,-98.48093+to:2617+Roosevelt+Avenue,+78214
That one works fine if you come from the general direction of Austin.
But since you don't know where they are coming from, that could be a
silly detour, so you need to calculate the approximate bearing that
they are coming from and have a few different intermediate points that
can be added to the route depending on that.
