Parameter Description

f=q The f parameter, which controls the display of the Google Maps form, can be d (for the directions form or l for the local form). Without the f parameter, the default search form is displayed.

hl=en Google Maps supports a limited number of host languages, including en for English and fr for French.

q=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave,+Washington,+DC The value of the q parameter is treated as though it were entered via the query box at http://maps.google.com.

sll=36.60585,-121.858956 sll contains the latitude and longitude for the center point around which a business search is performed.

spn=0.006313,0.01133 spn is the approximate latitude/longitude span for the map.

ie=UTF8 ie is the character encoding for the map.

om=1 om determines whether to include an overview map. With om=0 the overview map is closed.

iwloc=addr iwloc controls display options for the info window.

A good way to get a feel for how these parameters function is to change a parameter, add new ones, or drop ones in the sample URL and take a look at the resulting map. For instance, if you have only the q parameter, you would still get a map with some default behavior:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave,+Washington,+DC

That is, the other parameters are not mandatory. Let’s play with the z parameter to adjust the zoom factor:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave,+Washington,+DC&z=0

versus the following:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave,+Washington,+DC&z=17

There is a comprehensive list of Google Maps parameters
