My personal strategy is to pull down a map with the exact destination 
marked (as with http://linuxmafia.com/bale/map-callug-lavals.jpeg) and
with major landmarks/roads included, convert it to JPEG (no GIFs on my
server until 2002-12-08), and then post it alongside driving / transit / 
parking instructions.

Some people don't like to do that, because they say the users like to 
use the dynamic mapping services to generate directions.  I consider
those auto-generated directions redundant to (and not as good as) my
own.
