Hello all,

I need to email a link or video via email to someone of a walk journey, ideally using google maps. Its just a short walk but incase the get lost I want to email them a video of how to get there on google maps so they can just click on link or video and watch the journey?

Anyhow any ideas how I could do this?

Google maps only allows you to email a link of the map journey but not of the video, this is to an older person who would not be able to figure out how to click on the map and follow the journey themself, so need it to be all ready, so the click on link or video and they just can sit back and watch.

Or an easy way to make a recording of my computer screen?

    Get them to install a phone tracker and you can tell them which direction to go.

    If they cannot click on a map how will they know howto click on a video and play/ pause/ rewind etc.

    A simple picture of a map is not enough? If not then plain directions.

  • Not used it but this would do and will export to Youtube (only export to Youtube mind you) which will be easy for the recipient to view.

    If not why not write the route out and annotate it with screenshots from Google maps, then they could print out and take that with them too?
