Is there some url I can construct with a latitude,longitude pair that will lead me directly to a google maps page to visualize that location?
For example, the following pseudocode:
var lat = 43.23;
var lng = 114.08;
var url = 'http://google.com/maps/bylatlng?lat=' + lat + '&lng=' + lng';
print 'click here to see this location in google maps!: <a href="' + url + '">go</a>';
Something like that?
Thanks

You should be able to do something like this:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=24.197611,120.780512
Some more info on the query parameters available at this location
Here's another link to an SO thread
From my notes:
Which parses like this:
q=latN+lonW+(label) location of teardrop
t=k keyhole (satelite map)
t=h hybrid
ll=lat,-lon center of map
spn=w.w,h.h span of map, degrees
iwloc has something to do with the info window. hl is obviously language.
