the circle drawing too can be any library..not necessarily from Google. As about storage you can have any type of storage in the backend (postgres, sql anything), what i was talking about the steps that would be needed on front end. (In this case my idea was on Google Maps, there are lots of implementation of similar types done using Google Map).
The alternative that I talked about, the Google fusion table helps if you dont have geo-coded coordinates and just have the address (usually its a challenge since many of the open data sets do not carry the geo-coded coordinates), Fusion tables helps you create a visualization of the data which can be implemented in any application.
