Topic awaiting preservation: Help with google maps (Page 1 of 1)

Hi guys, I'm working now on google maps ( gotta love the diversity of work I get now and then wo hoo) anyway I'm trying to build something not even half as extensive but something on the lines of http://wikimapia.org/. Ok I'm not going to be building the whole app haven't got that much time on my hands. However the application Im working on has users signing up and they would be able to pin point and create locations on a google map which would be stored in my backend database.

Plus there would be a search option whereby a user could search for a specific place and all list of matching entires would be displayed as an overlay to the map and all places would be highlighted on the map.

Also if you've noticed how wikimapia works - you can add a place by virtually clicking and dragging on the map itself as opposed to adding in coordinates on some complicated form and the search is embedded within the map and not outside.

Now I have an idea of integrating basic google maps - no biggie there but this is not just a simple integration procedure. Does anyone have any idea what I need to do here.

Sorry, that's all I got.
