Will do the trick, where latitude and longitude are in decimal degrees. Originally I thought the uint32:5 represents zoom level, but apparently not.
Thanks cb22, but Im finding that typing this into xterm launches Maps fine but it then tries to lock and display my current position rather than showing the coordinates I'm passing in. I'm typing it all in on "one line" (and replacing the <lat> and <long> with my floating point decimal degrees ofcourse). Im not using the leaked 1.2, I have 1.1. Is there maybe something else Im missing?
