Question

Is there some url I can construct with a latitude,longitude pair that will lead me directly to a google maps page to visualize that location?

For example, the following pseudocode:

var lat = 43.23;
var lng = 114.08;

var url = 'http://google.com/maps/bylatlng?lat=' + lat + '&lng=' + lng';

print 'click here to see this location in google maps!: <a href="' + url + '">go</a>';

Something like that?

Thanks

You should be able to do something like this:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=24.197611,120.780512
