You can search for directions for several modes of transportation, including transit, driving, walking, or cycling. Directions may specify origins, destinations, and waypoints either as text strings (e.g. Chicago, IL or Darwin, NT, Australia ) or as latitude/longitude coordinates. The Directions API can return multi-part directions using a series of waypoints. You connect to Google Directions account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Google Directions connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector"). ## Prerequisites None ## Connecting to Google Directions This section enumerates the options in the **Details** pane in the Google Directions Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, **Scheduling** and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector"). ### Details Pane This pane contains a number of options for specifying the data you want to retrieve into Domo.
