The order of coordinates is latitude,longitude in decimal degrees.Sometimes the coordinate search gets confused and in that case you should prefix the coordinates with the location tag "loc:" such as "loc: 48.86,2.35" not including the quotes.Likewise, you can use a URL for Google Maps with the parameters ?q=48.86,2.35 added to end of the base URL in your web browser.If you're browsing Google Maps and want to know the coordinates of a location, just right-click on the map and select 'What's here?'.

Google Maps is based on a close variant of the Mercator projection. Google Maps uses the spherical Mercator, but the coordinates on Google Maps are the GPS coordinates based on the WGS 84 datum. Also, because Mercator projects the poles at infinity, Google Maps cannot show the poles so instead it cuts off coverage at 85.051125° north and south.
You can use latitude and longitude coordinates to locate countries on a map. Simply input the coordinates into a map application or website like Google Maps to see the country at those specific coordinates. Alternatively, you can use geographic information systems (GIS) software to analyze and visualize country borders based on coordinates.
There are a number of online mapping services other than Google Maps. They include Microsoft Bing Maps, Yahoo Maps, Map Quest Maps, Via Michelin, Nokia Maps and Open Street Map.
