Answer 1

Create a URI like this one:
https://maps.google.com/?q=[lat],[long]
For example:
https://maps.google.com/?q=-37.866963,144.980615
or, if you are using the javascript API
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(0,0))
This, and other helpful info comes from here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/?csw=1#Map

Answer 2

this is the javascript to display google map by passing your longitude and latitude.
<script>
function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
}
function loadScript() {
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=initialize";
document.body.appendChild(script);
}
window.onload = loadScript;
</script>

Firstly add a div with id.
<div id="my_map_add" style="width:100%;height:300px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function my_map_add() {
var myMapCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(28.5383866, 77.34916609);
var myMapProp = {center:myMapCenter, zoom:12, scrollwheel:false, draggable:false, mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("my_map_add"),myMapProp);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position:myMapCenter});
marker.setMap(map);
}
</script>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=your_key&callback=my_map_add"></script>

<script>
function initMap() {
//echo hiii;
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(8.5241, 76.9366),
zoom: 12
});
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow;
// Change this depending on the name of your PHP or XML file
downloadUrl('https://storage.googleapis.com/mapsdevsite/json/mapmarkers2.xml', function(data) {
var xml = data.responseXML;
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('package');
Array.prototype.forEach.call(markers, function(markerElem) {
var id = markerElem.getAttribute('id');
// var name = markerElem.getAttribute('name');
// var address = markerElem.getAttribute('address');
// var type = markerElem.getAttribute('type');
// var latitude = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
// var longitude = results[0].geometry.location.lng();
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(
parseFloat(markerElem.getAttribute('latitude')),
parseFloat(markerElem.getAttribute('longitude'))
);
var infowincontent = document.createElement('div');
var strong = document.createElement('strong');
strong.textContent = name
infowincontent.appendChild(strong);
infowincontent.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
var text = document.createElement('text');
text.textContent = address
infowincontent.appendChild(text);
var icon = customLabel[type] || {};
var package = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: point,
label: icon.label
});
package.addListener('click', function() {
infoWindow.setContent(infowincontent);
infoWindow.open(map, package);
});
});
});
}
function downloadUrl(url, callback) {
var request = window.ActiveXObject ?
new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP') :
new XMLHttpRequest;
request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (request.readyState == 4) {
request.onreadystatechange = doNothing;
callback(request, request.status);
}
};
request.open('GET', url, true);
request.send(null);
}
