Description

Is it possible to show driving instructions to a separate DOM element outside the MAP? I know geocoder supports this [link](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/mapbox-gl-geocoder-outside-the-map/).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the directions plugin's existing DOM output and compare it with the linked Mapbox GL geocoder outside-the-map example. Define how driving instructions should appear in a separate element outside the map, then verify that the instructions render there without relying on the map container.
