More like this, actually:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=75+bellevue+avenue,
+toronto&spn=0.031208,0.062622&hl=en
so it has the coordinates in the URL and the details in
/HTML[1]/BODY[1]/DIV[2]/DIV[3]/DIV[3]/TABLE[1]/TBODY[1]/TR[1]/TD[2]
or thereabouts (though that bit is in the external iframe, I think).
