    Here is a gopher interface for Google driving directions.

    gopher://tilde.pink/1/~bencollver/dir/

    This gopher interface is a front-end to the following web page.

    Great, but some characters are not displayed properly (I use
    original "gopher" client in Ubuntu):
    Enter display options: 0
    N++~@N++ 5mins Continue onto Speyerer Str. 3.2km
    N++~@N++ 1min Turn left onto Langer Anger 0.1km

    Thanks for the report. I changed it to use an ASCII asterisk instead of
    UTF-8 bullet points, so it ought to display properly now.

    The UTF-8 bullet points displayed correctly for me in gopherus and
    lynx, both on FreeDOS and Linux.

    Looks pretty cool! I do have to make some sad french person noises though: accents cause "unacceptable URL" errors: gopher://tilde.pink/7/~bencollver/dir/step7/fr/Paris/Orl%C3%A9ans/2/0%090

    Same with anything that contains a space: gopher://tilde.pink/7/~bencollver/dir/step7/fr/Paris%20Gare%20de%20Lyon/Paris%20Gare%20du%20Nord/1/0%090

    The URL does work if you just escape the spaces: https://gdir.telae.net/cgi-bin/gdir_web.py?country=fr&origin=Paris%20Gare%20de%20Lyon&destination=Paris%20Gare%20du%20Nord&mode_of_travel=transit

    Thanks for the feedback. This should be fixed now. Please try again.

    I believe Gopher+ supports reporting back the codepage, which can be UTF-8. Some clients support this. Some don't.
