How to insert Google directions to multiple destinations from random starting places

Inside the Article creator inserts, you can insert Google directions embeds.

This is useful for those doing local SEO projects and want to use directions embeds from random origins.

nb: This tool replaces the older Google direction insert that only supported one source → one destination insert.

The older style Google direction insert has been tagged with (old) and is now at the bottom of the insert list.

The older version is still active to maintain backwards compatibility with older tasks, however you can turn it off and switch to the new Google directions insert instead.

The advantage of this new insert is that you can generate directions to multiple different destinations leaving from random places.
