Google Maps – Send directions to a friend or relative

Parent –teachers meetings are coming up this week. Say you need to give your parent or guardian directions to the Hyde School.  Let’s send them an e-mail message containing a link to Google Maps that will give them directions from your home to school. 

Visit  https://maps.google.com/

a)      Find directions to the Hyde School (88 Basset Road in North Haven, CT).  This will be Point B.

b)    Click on Get Directions to input your home address (Point A), and click again on Get Directions.

c)     Use the link icon (short option) to create a link to your Google Map, which you can then insert or add to your e-mail!

d) Use Gmail to send an e-mail to your parent/guardian, Cc: yourself, and Bcc: the teacher at:     rwiegs@gmail.com

P.S. Don’t forget to check the Traffic option to see how heavy traffic can be at different times during the day.
