There is a very nice worldmap node - you should check out the flows site and search for things that might help you. Doesn't use Google Maps though - which have limits unless you are paying a fee.

It is certainly possible to have a google map integration with dashboard but isn't probably that easy to do.

I don't really use Dashboard for anything complex - if you wanted to use VueJS, you could make use of uibuilder - there are multiple examples of VueJS mapping here: [Maps - Vue.js Examples](https://vuejsexamples.com/tag/maps/).

Thank you for Reply,  
If you know can you please suggest me through Examples on **Google Direction and Google Geocoding Nodes**?  
or else  
Any alternative way to **send the Data(Lattitude and Longitude) to Google Maps** to get directions from Source to Destination.

Sorry, I can't do that as I've not done it myself. However, I'm sure there are many Internet posts/tutorials that will guide you.

What are trying to achieve? For example, you could easily generate a Google maps link that has start and destination.

However if you want results inside node-red or the dashboard, then you're likely to have to use the the Google API & will likely need a developer API key.

Reference material...  
"Get Started | Directions API | Google Developers" [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/start](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/start)
