Yes, I wrote this site that uses it (including the advanced features).

The Google Maps API is the best documented code I have ever seen.

For driving directions see:
http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/index.html
click "Services" then scroll to the bottom for a "cut 'n paste" example.
Check the "References" page if you want to get into the details.

My only pointer, it to make sure you truely understand the js concepts,
"a function is an object" and closure.  If you are a PHP guy, it is
likely a foreign concept.
