Open a HTML contentpart in your article.
Copy the code below and change the 'HereYourKey' in the first line with your actual Google Maps API Key
enter your desired start and end locations here: setDirections("San Francisco", "Mountain View", "en_US"); (for germans it'd be de_DE)
a bit further down the start and end points appear again within the input fields, you should change it there as well: value="San Francisco"/> and value="Mountain View" />
Save the whole thing and enjoy it!
The rest is only modifications in the html part of the code and translation if necessary.

You can link to this article from your original map in the module, but you must do it with an ID replacement tag in the info window, don't use the routeplanner-link in the contentpart, this one will still send you to Google Maps.
