I did something like this 4 years ago. A Google form that populates a Google spreadsheet. The spreadsheet has a script to look up geocodes and based on the address adds a pin to a map of local businesses. It uses a very old version of Exhibit http://www.hayriverti.org/local-directory-map
It doesn't always load on the first try so if the map doesn't show try reloading the page. Sign up form is here. http://www.hayriverti.org/local-directory-map/directory-sign-up-2 Since the site is a Google Sites web site I also needed to create a custom widget and embed the Exhibit code in that.
