Google Driving Directions Gadget Alternative

Question

Does anyone know what's going on with the Google Driving Directions Gadget?

If you click the add a gadget to your website and you just get a 404. I have it on a page here, and if I open chrome developer tools I get:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

On this page.

Does anyone know a working alternative or a work around for this? It's strange that Google would let something like this break.

If you click the google maps gadget above that too, it also gives a 404. It has been like that for the last few days that I have tried it, so not sure how long its been like that for.

Those gadgets are by third party developers. From the bottom of the page you link to:
