Answer 1

To get your current location as start point you need to use this URL:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=Current+Location&destination=<latitude>,<longitude>

You can fill up the destination parameter with the address, name or latitude and longitude values.

Answer 2

As of today (1st November, 2020), Google provided a provision of Universal URL which works quite efficiently on cross-platforms and thus, Google recommends this method.

Syntax: https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=<lat>,<lng>

Example : https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=28.6139,77.2090 (New Delhi, India)

Answer 3

This schema has changed again (23rd October 2018). See Kushagr's answer for the latest.

This for a map with the marker (via aaronm's comment):

https://www.google.com/maps/?q=-15.623037,18.388672

For an older example (no marker on this one):

https://www.google.com/maps/preview/@-15.623037,18.388672,8z

The oldest format:

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-15.623037,18.388672&spn=65.61535,79.013672

Answer 4

Open the following url with the latitude and longitude and zoom level.

https://maps.google.com/?q=23.22,88.32&z=8

Answer 5

say easily http://www.google.com/maps/place/lat,lng format

sample url:

http://www.google.com/maps/place/30.364124,48.227034

Answer 6

The best way is to use q parameter so that it displays the map with the point marked. eg.:

https://maps.google.com/?q=<lat>,<lng>
