Solution 3 - Google Maps
The currently accepted answer ends up adding an additional history entry in browsers at the moment as Google Maps redirects to a different URL format.
To avoid that extra entry in the browser's history, use the official Maps API url:
https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=latitude,longitude
This will display a marker at the latitude, longitude location as well.
If you only want to center the map (and not display a marker), use the map action:
https://www.google.com/maps/@?api=1&map_action=map¢er=latitude,longitude
