Creating Google Location URL by using latitude & longtitude pairs
I have a code where I'm retrieving latitude and longtitude information. I'm wondering what tools I need on hand in order to create a google maps URL.
I'm not interested to show that information on map but I would like to be able to create a link (Google Maps URL for l开发者_高级运维atitude and longtitude info). Is that possible? If yes, I appreciate if you can direct me what tools I need in order to achieve that functionality.
Thanks in advance.
The easiest way is to construct the URL yourself. For example, for the coordinates 35.17380831799959,-86.1328125 (lat is first, lon is second), the following URL will work http://maps.google.com/?q=35.17380831799959,-86.1328125
Yes, you'll just output a URL with the formatting of q=lat,lng:
http://maps.google.com/?q=latitude,longitude
You should use the Google Static maps API, they have examples of constructing links
