Question : how do I create a web page that will accept a parameter that is supplied as part of the web address?

I have created a web page that incorporates a Google map and I would like to be able to get a web address that will take the user straight to a location on the map. e.g. I would like someone to be able to type an address like the following and use the last part of the address as part of my initialisation so the map can display the requested coordinates.

www.mywebsite.com/maps.htm&address=25.035,133.345

I have seen this sort of thing done with dozens of web sites, even the emails I get from EE do much the same. How difficult is it to set up? hwo do I do it?
