Where am I going? vs. Where am I going to?
Above all, let me explain my chain of thought.
I met a sentence in a paragraph like this : Where am I coming from? Where am I going?
And this question hit upon me. Can I put "to" next to "going"?
Do you think it's OK to put "to" just before "going"?
I found out a sentence using "to" in a website below, but as a matter of fact the sentence with "to" was far less than without "to."

-Where am I? Where am I coming from? Where am I going to?
And one other sentence seeming same but appearing a bit different in some other way below in the Oxford Advanced leaner's Dictionary.
? I wonder where they will take us to.
What I want to ask are:
1. Can I use "to" in the sentence, "Where am I going?"
2. If I can't use "to," and then why "to" is OK with an Oxford Example sentence.
Can you give me a hand with this frustrating question?

Thanks, Mister Micawber.
And then, do you mean we can omit "to," in the Oxford Example Sentence?
(It seems to me that the example sentence seems odd without "to," but I don't know why.)
