This might not be the right place for this question, if so my apologies.
I'm trying to find out how to add the driving directions to gmap targets on my map; currently it doesn't include that when I use gmap with location module and I have scanned google and couldn't find anything that talks about that for Drupal.
If this is not the right location for this or if someone possesses the knowledge of this could point me in the right direction I would be very happy.
Regards,
Chris W.

Not in Google Maps API
Driving Directions are not in Google Maps API, as far as I know. This means that the GMap module will probably not implement this. Unless there is someone that wants to build that functionality from hand, which sounds really horrible to me.

Gmap Driving direction?
The Google Map API does support driving directions - http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GDirections - but I've never heard anyone discuss adding this to the gmap module. It's certainly possible though, just a case of who's willing to do the work liaising with the module maintainers. There's quite a lot of things being added to the gmap module right now, so perhaps taking a look at how that's done would be a good start for anyone interested in working on this.

There is this option as well: http://drupal.org/project/getdirections. Does anyone know how to do this with openlayers? I found mapbox but really don't see a reason to use this instead of the google api.

I have made this without using any map modules http://www.tinemuller.dk/drupal/node/1157. If you can use it I will show you my code from this drupal site.
I copied the code from here http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/drivingdirections/direc... but cleaned up a lot of the code and made external css and javascript.
