Latitude and Longitude

Google Maps can display any location based on its latitude and longitude

The easiest way to specify what part of our planet that you want your Google map to display is to specify the latitude and longitude. The maps allow these to be specified to several decimal places so that you can easily move the starting position for your map to point to your house instead of your neighbour's. While this method may require some trial and error on your part to centre the map exactly where you want it is the most efficient way of defining what map to display both in terms of the code needed and the time that will be taken to position the map appropriately.
