Allowing users to add markers to google maps and getting the coordinates
What i want to do is embed a map on my website and allow users to place markers on it (also if there is a way to control how many markers a user can put on the map?) and i also want to get the coordinates of these markers once they have been put on the map. From the documentation that i’ve read for google maps javascript api V3, i can place markers on the map myself, but i dont see a way to let users put them up on the map. Is there a way to do it?

Scroll down to accessing arguments in UI events.
var map;
function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event) {
placeMarker(event.latLng);
});
}
function placeMarker(location) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: map
});
map.setCenter(location);
}
