I would use jQuery (or javascript framework of your choice like dojo, mootools, etc). Have an image on your page. Attach an OnClick event to it. Inside the OnClick, do an ajax post to the remote server. On success, swap out the image with another image indicating success. On failure, probably

You might also take a look at the GIS capabilities that are now baked into sever DB systems. MS SQL 2008 and the newer versions of PostGres come to mind as having native support for geographic data. A lot of it will come down to figuring out your actual requirements, which seem to be rather fuzzy
