Create Google Maps links based on coordinates

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

According to another answer, you can use following url

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

to show a pin.


  • Working in 2022
  • No sidebar
  • Url doesnt change
  • Zoom included

Syntax:

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

Example:

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


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