Hi all,

Just like the one from [http://www.43places.com/](http://www.43places.com/), users can click on  
the google map and save the location to the database.

the examples google gives are about how to display, it seem not to  
cover what i want.

does anyone have some example or know some tutorial to help me do  
this?

thank you.
