How to Save Directions From Google Maps
Google Maps lets you save driving directions for multiple starting points and destinations. In order to use this feature, you'll need a Google account, which does not cost anything. Saving your driving directions allows you to view or print the driving directions at a later time. By doing this, you'll be able to access the directions without re-entering the starting or destination address.
