I am new to the whole Github experience and am working with the cmb_field_map but I for the life of me cannot add driving directions to the meta boxes php

Hi @iamdigitaljoe. This map field serves a fairly specific purpose. The field stores a set of coordinates into post meta. How you make use of this data on your front end is down to you.

You could use the Google Maps Directions API to achieve an on-page directions lookup. Feel free to reverse engineer this example.

Alternatively, you could generate a link similar to:
