Hi there, If you'd prefer a printed book, try checking out "Beginning Spatial with SQL Server 2008" (APress) ( http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430218290 ).
Chapter 8 covers this exact scenario - retrieving information from SQL Server 2008 via AJAX for display on Google Maps (and Virtual Earth). This not only includes single points, but polylines and polygons too. If you're building a full spatial application, you also might find some of the other topics useful too - how to use SQL Server 2008 to import, manipulate and analyse spatial data (perform intersections, unions, nearest-neighbor searching etc.) prior to display.
