As of today (2014/09/23), I've found that to get marker on exact place (not an approximation) you can use:

http://www.google.com/maps/place/49.46800006494457,17.11514008755796

Additionally, if you want to specify map center and zoom:

http://www.google.com/maps/place/49.46800006494457,17.11514008755796/@49.46800006494457,17.11514008755796,17z

If you want to use satellite map type, then append /data=!3m1!1e3

http://www.google.com/maps/place/49.46800006494457,17.11514008755796/@49.46800006494457,17.11514008755796,17z/data=!3m1!1e3

And If you want terrain view of the map, then append /data=!3m1!4b1

https://www.google.com/maps/place/49.46800006494457,17.11514008755796/@49.46800006494457,17.11514008755796,17z/data=!3m1!4b1
