Zoomable map with labeled Lat/Lon minute grid
Is there any website/program that will show you any given latitude or longitude overlaid over a zoomable map?

The best way is to use q parameter so that it displays the map with the point marked. eg.:
https://maps.google.com/?q=<lat>,<lng>
This schema has changed again (23rd October 2018). See Kushagr's answer for the latest.
This for a map with the marker (via aaronm's comment):
https://www.google.com/maps/?q=-15.623037,18.388672
For an older example (no marker on this one):
https://www.google.com/maps/preview/@-15.623037,18.388672,8z
The oldest format:
http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-15.623037,18.388672&spn=65.61535,79.013672
It's actually fairly easy, just enter it as a latitude,longitude pair, ie 46.38S,115.36E (which is in the middle of the ocean). You'll want to convert it to decimal though (divide the minutes portion by 60 and add it to the degrees [I've done that with your example]).
First is latitude, second longitude. Different than many constructors in mapbox.
Here are examples of formats that work:
- Degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS):
41°24'12.2"N 2°10'26.5"E - Degrees and decimal minutes (DMM):
41 24.2028, 2 10.4418 - Decimal degrees (DD):
41.40338, 2.17403
Tips for formatting your coordinates
- Use the degree symbol instead of “d”.
- Use periods as decimals, not commas.
- Incorrect:
41,40338, 2,17403. - Correct:
41.40338, 2.17403.
- Incorrect:
- List your latitude coordinates before longitude coordinates.
- Check that the first number in your latitude coordinate is between
-90and90and the first number in your longitude coordinate is between-180and180.
