How do I... Mashup a Windows Live Map with other elements on a page?

This demo shows how a map can be used for both showing a location and then showing directions to a location.  Doing so requires several elements to be combined: a map, an input form, and an output table.  Doing so each time would be laborious and error prone.  Instead, we use a parametrized template page to get the job done (see Template:MapWithDirections).
