Locate with
Google Maps




Parameters:

  • lat (latitude as decimal)
  • lon (longitude as decimal)
  • zoom (0-17, recommended 10-16, defaults to 12)
  • type ("m" for map (default), "k" for satellite, "p" for terrain, "h" for hybrid)1

Latitude and longitude must be entered in decimal representation, not degrees, minutes, and seconds. This page can be used to do the conversion if needed. Keep in mind that Birmingham is located at coordinates north and west, meaning that the latitude is positive, but the longitude is negative.
