    This is completely easy with Google Maps...

    See https://www.miserlymonkey.com/index.cfm?PageAction=Favorite_Camping_Spot as an example.

    The user is presented with Google Maps. The pins are from previous users who have posted. The users are given the option to put a pin on the map (in this case representing a camping, hiking or boating spot) by moving the map. They can also put in a description. We don't require any registration with us or Google....

    All of this info and the examples for the map are in the Google documentation and examples. Took about 3 hours to do this first one. After that, additional maps are easy to do based on your model.

    Hope this helps.
