Create Google Maps links based on coordinates

Question

How can I create Google Maps links based on coordinates. Their new basic share urls contain a lot of parameters, for example -

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Vetl

Answer 1

The currently accepted answer ends up adding an additional history entry in browsers at the moment as Google Maps redirects to a different URL format.

To avoid that extra entry in the browser's history, use the official Maps API url:

https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=latitude,longitude

This will display a marker at the latitude, longitude location as well.

If you only want to center the map (and not display a marker), use the map action:

https://www.google.com/maps/@?api=1&map_action=map&center=latitude,longitude

Answer 2

According to another answer, you can use following url

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

to show a pin.

Answer 3

Working in 2020, no sidebar, url doesnt change, including zoom

Syntax: https://www.google.com/maps/@{lat},{long},{zoom}z

Example: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.123,10.123,15z

Answer 4

The simple and best way is to use as follows:-

https://maps.google.com/?q=latitude-value,longitude-value

Hope it helps. Thank you!

Answer 5

Why not http://www.google.com/maps/place/lat,lng I think this is the simplest way
