I'm currently working on http://ezsend.it but this sounds like something fun and somewhat related.

It would be great if it also offered public transit directions. One could then market it to businesses as a replacement for the static map on their contact page.

Let's keep in touch once I'm done with ezsend.it

Once you have the endpoints, you can return any data you can get your hands on; map with route, transit options, bike paths, turn-by-turn, etc.

And yes, instead of generic directions "From I-5: take exit 999..." you can have a link that gives specific directions from where the view actually is.
