We are running Goldmine 6.0 with GM+Views. I would like to set the View up to display Mapquest directions to the address in the contact record.

I am able to display a Mapquest page in the View that will allow the Sales Rep to enter the address and get directions, but I want the contact address to automatically enter in the Mapquest search fields and display the directions from a set address. I've seen this done and am hoping someone can offer suggestions on how to accomplish it.
 
here is the code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv=REFRESH content="0;url=http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=prt&ct=NA&1a=&lt;&lt;&licinfo_address1&gt;&gt;&OPC=null&1c=&lt;&lt;&LicInfo_City&gt;&gt;&1s=&lt;&lt;&LicInfo_State&gt;&gt;&1z=&lt;&lt;&LicInfo_zip&gt;&gt;&1y=US&2a=&lt;&lt;contact1-&gt;address1&gt;&gt;&DPC=null&2c=&lt;&lt;contact1-&gt;city&gt;&gt;&2s=&lt;&lt;contact1-&gt;state&gt;&gt;&2z=&lt;&lt;contact1-&gt;zip&gt;&gt;&2y=US&lr=2&x=70&y=8" >

Fantastic! Thank you very much.
 
I have seen the GMlink VIEW in the forum for DIRECTIONS,but
I like to have the MAP itself.
I am in the Netherlands and, I get with isearch
in Goldmine allways United States in stead of
Netherlands,I put the <<country>>.. in the isearch.

I PREFER to have the MAP in GM View,I have now in GMVIEW
the MapQuest website to fill in country address
etc,but I am missing the RIGHT string in the http.... sothat
I don't need to fill in the parameters.

Please help me with this

Many many thanks from the Netherlands..

Try using a different site, a Netherlands based one should solve that problem (and have more up to date maps, I thought I'd messed up when testing the above but it turns out MapQuest didn't have any of the streets I was looking for!)
