Google maps showing correct location with latitude longitude but also shows nearest road

Question

I am using Google Maps to show the user location based on the latitude and longitude passed in the query. It shows fine with a green arrow. But the map also shows a letter pin with the nearest road/address.

How do I hide the letter pin and ensure only the green arrow is shown? The URL I use is:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=latitude,longitude

Answer 1

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.
