Clicking next-meeting map-marker should get you directions #5

Recording suggestion from Andrew so that I don't lose it...

It would be nice if the map icon was clickable so that people could get directions to the venue right there from the page. Not sure if it's a quick fix or not. Might need to change that from a LatLong to a ImageMapType or something. I think the LatLong is just a base class with limited functionality?"

I looked into this when I was creating the marker image. It might be tricky to do, but here is what I think it would take to get done:

Pass the venue address as a var into the js file (like we do with lat/lng)
Create a string that can then be passed into an info window (read here http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html#InfoWindows)

That's the only "simple" solution I came up with. Might be a better solution though, so if anyone has any other ideas...
