I Received a “Driving Directions Notification,” What Do I Need to Change?
The field “Inst/Dir” (found on the General tab during Add/Edit), is reserved
for directions to the property. Statements such as, “Use GPS or Use Maps” offer
no driving directions that can be followed, in the event there is a lack of internet connectivity. Please provide general references
to nearby roads and/or landmarks with directions to the property.
You can also not include any contact information or a reference to a website.
MLS Rules and Regulation

Contact information such as names, phone numbers, email addresses, website addresses shall not be entered in the "Directions" field. The "Directions" field is intended for directions to the property only.
