When link abbreviations do not suffice, you can always write a link
definition in Lisp and add it with org-add-link-type.

For explanation and a practical example see:

PS. If Org were to add a default geo: link type, I think it would make
sense to keep the parameters to a minimum, i.e. just the latitude and
longitude, without backend-dependent options such as Google Maps' "spn"
parameter. Though I can see how it would be useful.
