## Description

The Directions custom field allows users to specify an origin and destination location as text when creating/editing an issue. The directions will be shown as inline Google Map Directions in the issue. To separate origin and destination, the separator **=>** must be used.

The directions from origin to destination are made in driving mode. For instance, only origin and destination may be set by user input.

## Configuration

Configuring the Directions custom field is the same as configuring any other Jira custom field. For information on configuring a custom field in Jira, see the [Jira documentation](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Adding+a+Custom+Field).
