Hi, That sounds like a fairly simple, common thing. Here is a first approach you could do: - show a map - see http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/introduction.html - listen for clicks on the map, so that a click adds a marker where the user clicks - see http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/events.html - add a marker where the click happens, optionally allow dragging that marker - see http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html
To make it easier to people to find places, you could also add a text box and geocode whatever they input and point them to the first result (or even show the whole list of results and let them choose) - see http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#Geocoding The rest is up to you, I'm only touching on the mapping part. Happy coding! :) On Sat, May 29, 2010 at 06:50, cboarder35 <[email protected]> wrote: > So I am trying to make a simple website for my friends and cant seem > to figure out how to do this.
