Direct Me
This is a very simple but effective tool for your website. It doesn't just offer the usual embedded map for website visitors with customisable logo and location description, but also allows you to provide directions to the premises for your visitors. What's more, Direct Me can also remember where your visitors are from so it becomes a very powerful tool for gathering important user data.
N.B. This is JavaScript in the File but this is the only way it will work in X5

Live Demo


Features at a glance:

Easy to customise location map, including customisable...

  • business icon
  • location description
  • location title


See it on a Contact Form

Saves user input to:
CSV - ready for Excel (and no painful databases!) (requires PHP 5) or MySQL database if you prefer
And of course it includes comprehensive help documentation and free support
This is a very useful component for any contact us page and with the directions component it isn't an ordinary embedded map.

With this demo above I suggest using the example address provided (or one nearby) unless you want the directions to include swimming ;-)

Why log user locations?
Logging user locations is a useful method for you to get an idea of where your clients are located and helps you better target your business activities through increased awareness of your demographic. It's also entirely optional - the script works just as well without logging data too!
