You can enter latitude/longitude coordinates in Google Maps to zoom to that location.

With Google Maps open you can, for example, enter "48.86,2.35" into the search text box to jump to Paris, France. The order of coordinates is latitude,longitude in decimal degrees.Sometimes the coordinate search gets confused and in that case you should prefix the coordinates with the location tag "loc:" such as "loc: 48.86,2.35" not including the quotes.

Likewise, you can use a URL for Google Maps with the parameters ?q=48.86,2.35 added to end of the base URL in your web browser.

If you're browsing Google Maps and want to know the coordinates of a location, just right-click on the map and select 'What's here?'. The coordinates will automatically pop up in the search box.

Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian.
