Driving Directions

You can generate driving directions to a listing address from any starting point. This feature is available at a listing report (all types except Two Per Page, Thumbnail, and Comparison formats), or from a TorontoMLS street map. TMLS uses Yahoo! Maps to supply driving directions and maps.

Whether you access this feature from a listing report or map view, TMLS pre-fills the address of the listing as the destination. You enter the starting location.

At a street map, the driving directions feature is available at any zoom level. If multiple listing markers display on the map, you must designate a listing for directions. To designate a listing, move the mouse pointer over its marker. Its detail view displays at the right side of the page and the Driving Directions link activates.

When moving the mouse pointer to the directions link, do not pass the pointer over other listing markers, as this changes the listing in the detail view, and thus the destination of the directions. On a map crowded with markers, you can "lock in" the detail view for a listing, by right-clicking on its marker, before you navigate the mouse pointer to Driving Directions. A lock-in icon appears at the detail view. You must click on to unlock the detail view in order to display details for other listings.

Using Driving Directions

To Generate and Print Driving Directions

At a street map, move the mouse pointer over the marker for the listing you want directions to. (If you want you can right click on the marker to "lock in" the listing.) Then, click Driving Directions.

At a listing report simply click Driving Directions.
The Yahoo! Maps page displays in a secondary browser window. The address of the listing appears as the destination.
Enter the starting address. Then click Get Directions.
Yahoo! Maps displays driving directions, maps, a link for reverse directions, and more.
To print the directions, click Printable Version. A printer formatted version displays in another browser window.

Click Print.
Click Close or to close the browser window and return to TMLS.

Tips:

Click to clear a listing from the detail view.
Yahoo! Maps has dedicated Help. Click Help at the upper right corner of the page for details.
If you have a frequently used starting address (e.g., your home or office) you can store this information using "My Locations (Edit)". Then, select the starting address from My Locations.
At the driving directions, two maps display. The first shows the full route, from your starting point to the listing address. The second is a street map of the vicinity of the listing. Click View Larger Map if desired. Use the zoom and direction buttons to produce additional views. You can print and email this map.
