I'd like to show someone a specific point on Google Maps. How can I put down a pin (and remove all other pins) and get a URL of the resulting map?

Found the solution, might help someone else.
Using this url: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:latitude,longitude
will ensure the letter pin only shows at this location and does not find the nearest road/address.
Thanks.
Big enough? I don't have a bigger screen available right now, so that's the most I could do.
If you have a large monitor and you are comfortable with Firebug, use it to alter the page layout and make your screen shot as big as you need.
To do that:
- Click right close to you map
- Click Inspect Element
- Search for a
<div>with theid="105648"
- Click on it in order to select it as in the above picture
- In the right side you will see the CSS values for the
heightandwidthof the element
- Click on each value and alter it
- Close Firebug
- DO NOT REFRESH THE PAGE until you are done

You can also share the map by centering your view on the location you right-click. Once this is done, you can then link to the maps by clicking the link icon (looks like a chain segment) in the upper right corner. This will re-create your viewed location anytime you go to the URL it gives you.
