Google-maps – send a postcode direct to Google Maps in the URL

google maps

I have a form on my web page that includes a postcode. I want to open a new window and display Google Maps with the data from my postcode form. Ideally something like:

www.maps.google.co.uk%postcode=pr87uu 

Is this something I can do easily?

Just like the Google search you can enter it in the URL as a query, http://maps.google.co.uk/m?q=pr87uu worked perfectly for me. It's a location near Southport, right?
