Almost.

Type the postcode of your destination into google. press search.
Click on the small map which appears, and you will get a big map of the
area around your destination.
Click on the phrase "Get Direction" towards the upper left of the
screen. Enter the postcode (or town name) of your departure in box 'A'.
Click on the 'Get Directions' button.

hey presto! you have a map of the whole route, plus a detailed list of
directions. You can select alternative routes by clicking on the
suggested route and dragging it - it really quite slick.
