I need some code that allows users to add their own markers to my map. Does anybody have an example?

var siberia = new goog

It's not a hard job:

• Set a click event on the map

  google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event) {
    placeMarker(event.latLng);
  });

• Place the marker and make an AJAX call to the server to save the location in the database:

  function placeMarker(location) {
    var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: location, 
        map: map
    });
  
  
    map.setCenter(location);
  
  
    $.ajax({
       url: 'myPHP',
       data: location,
       succes: function(){
         alert('marker was added');
       },
       error: function(){
         alert('marker wasn't added');
         marker.setMap(null);
       }
    });
  }
