The other day managed to figure out the standard syntax for a url that can be altered to bring up a map and zoom to a location in Google Maps

I am going to use this in some of my applications to allow individuals find locations. This url format removes the left pane and the search section at the top of Google Maps and gives a decent view of a location.

So here's Edinburugh castle

http://maps.google.com/?ll=55.948541,-3.200481&t=k&z=17&output=embed&iwloc=0

Further details of parameters can be obtained by visiting

http://querystring.org/google-maps-query-string-parameters/

Latitude and Longitude are passed to Google maps in decimal degrees.
