Several years I used Expediamaps for a list of the highest points of the world. It was easy to extrapolate the longitude/latitude in the good old days and the instructions told you how to link to its maps.
For instance the Everest URL (which incidentally still works) was:
http://www.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=mrdr&lat s1=27.980665215563927&lons1=86.92149463948968&alts 1=400&ofsx=0&ofsy=0&ntid1=293b&plce1=&wpst1=1®n 1=2&cnty1=4&fmap=1&&tpid=1&&zz=1107746517414&
From that you could easily parse the latitude/longitude. In the Everest case
Latitude:
27.980665215563927 (North)
Longitude
86.92149463948968 (East)
That's pretty much overkill. None the less you could take the extrapolated latitude/longitude and drop it into any mapping program.
The new Expedia maps can only be arrived via search and you have to have the URL mailed to get it. Further it is impossible to extrapolate the longitude/latitude from the new Everest URL
