I would suggest being able to use the address. Longitude and Latitude are helpful if used in conjunction with the GPS Phonegap libraries on a device but unless there is some other way to resolve the Longitude and Latitude from an address, I believe the address is the my most common usage. Below is a link I used for my own reference.

Now, on with the guide… http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?
f=q
This sets what kind of display the user is presented with. Can be set to q (the standard layout), d (for directions) or l (for local). Defaults to q.
q=location+goes+here
The query string. Words are separated by + signs. You can enter an address, a town, city or village, postcodes, variables of latitude and longitude (in either decimal form or as degrees, minutes and seconds) and landmarks.
