I just used Google Maps to get text directions to a location near me. Here's 
what I did:

1. I went to the URL

http://Google.com/maps

2. I pressed enter on the Get-Directions link.

3. I moved to the Start and End edit boxes and typed the start and end 
addresses.

Actually, for the end address, I typed the name of an institution. the new 
screen offered me several options, asking which one I meant. I entered on 
the correct one.

4. I pressed enter on the Get-Directions button.

the text directions appear in a table. Use your screen reader to jump to it.

The default directions are driving directions. If you want walking 
directions or something else, press enter on the link that says Show Options 
or something like that.
