I'm not seeing this, in latest Safari or Chrome. Anybody else?

Not on current Ubuntu using Google Chrome. I'm filing a report with Google. Thanks to the OP, when this is working on Ubuntu I look forward to using it.

Chrome 14 on OS X works for me. You have to hit "Get Directions" after choosing your two locations.

OS X and Chrome 14, in Canada, can't see it. I'm thinking location might have something to do with that...

Don't see it in Northern California either, on Lion under Chrome 14 or Safari 5.
