As of Jan 2018 the latest URL is   https   google com maps search your search string  address  landmark  city  etc  Spaces are ok    Examples   https   google com maps search empire state building  https   google com maps search 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW  Washington  DC 20500

You can use the new URL for Google Maps  https   www google com maps  39 774769 -74 86084 18z equivalent to http   maps google com  ll 39 774769 -74 86084   39 774769 is the latitude and -74 86084 is longitude and 18z is 18 zoom level

Yeah  I had the same question for a long time and I found the perfect one  Here are some parameters from it   https   maps google com  parameter value    q   Used to specify the search query in Google maps search  eg     https   maps google com  q newyork or https   maps google com  q 51 03841 -114 01679   near      Used to specify the location instead of putting it into q  Also has   the added effect of allowing you to increase the AddressDetails   Accuracy value by being more precise  Mostly only useful if q is a   business or suchlike    z   Zoom level  Can be set 19 normally  but in certain cases can go up to 23   ll   Latitude and longitude of the map centre point  Must be in that order  Requires decimal format  Interestingly  you can use this without q  in which case it doesn   t show a marker   sll   Similar to ll  only this sets the lat long of the centre point for a business search  Requires the same input criteria as ll   t   Sets the kind of map shown  Can be set to   m     normal  map k     satellite h     hybrid p     terrain   saddr   Sets the starting point for directions searches  You can also add text into this in brackets to bold it in the directions sidebar   daddr   Sets the end point for directions searches  and again will bold any text added in brackets You can also add   to   which will set via points  These can be added multiple times   via   Allows you to insert via points in directions  Must be in CSV format  For example  via 1 5 addresses 1 and 5 will be via points without entries in the sidebar  The start point  which is set as 0   and 2  3 and 4 will all show full addresses   doflg   Changes the units used to measure distance  will default to the standard unit in country of origin   Change to ptk for metric or ptm for imperial    msa   Does stuff with My Maps  Set to 0 show defined My Maps  b to turn the My Maps sidebar on  1 to show the My Maps tab on its own  or 2 to go to the new My Map creator form    reference   http   moz com ugc everything-you-never-wanted-to-know-about-google-maps-parameters

Google now has a documentation page dedicated to Maps URLs   https   developers google com maps documentation urls guide  An API key is not required   Manipulating one of the examples  I came up with this URL scheme that fits your question   https   www google com maps search  lt search term gt    lt coordinates gt   lt zoom level gt z   A valid example of this would be   https   www google com maps search pizza  41 089988 -81 542901 12z  This should show you all of the pizza places around Akron  Ohio

What do you want to search near that known place   For example if you want to search a restaurant near a known place you can use the parameters  q   and  near   and construct this URL  maps google com  q restaurant amp near 47 154719 27 60551  For a list of complete parameters you can see this  https   web archive org web 20070708030513 http   mapki com wiki Google Map Parameters  Depending on what is the format you want your information in you can add at the end of the url the parameter output like this  maps google com  q restaurant amp near 47 154719 27 60551 amp output kml  For more types of output format you can read chapter 2 of this  http   csie-tw blogspot de 2009 06 android-driving-direction-route-path html

You can use the query parameter ll for your lat and long  and you can use the query parameter q for what you want to search   http   maps google com  ll 39 774769 -74 86084  Or you can  http   maps google com  q your query

additional info   http   maps google com maps q loc  put in latitude and longitude after  example   http   maps google com maps q loc 51 03841 -114 01679  this will show pointer on map  but will suppress geocoding of the address  best for a location without an address  or for a location where google maps shows the incorrect address
