Hello,
I want to have a map on my website and to give each registered user an
ability to add his/hers own point to it.
Lots of tutorials describe how to add custom XML file with *existing
list* of coordinates to my map.
The question is - what is the proper way to *ask the user* for
coordinates?
It should be something like this:
- user enters his city name and street address in a form on my website
- gets redirected to Google maps
- finds his home on the map, puts a placemark on it
- clicks some button, returns to my website
- my website parses the reply from Google Maps and stores the
coordinates in the intternal database
- website updadtes XML file, new point is added to the custom map on
my website.
Currently I do not see any other option than to ask user to copy "link
to this page" to clipboard and paste it in a form on my website. Is
there a more automated and straigthforward way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Sanja
