Need some advice on google maps stuff

Ok, so I want to put up this site where people insert locations by hand. Locations are points, not areas.
I don't have a very clear idea of what's best, or possible, in this situation.
A user should be able to fill in a form in which the location is a field. Now what's the best way to achieve this?
Is there some way I can show a map, and have the user submitting a location by clicking in a spot?
I've used google API before but i never dealt with user input. Also, it was quite a while ago, I've heard there's new versions of the API, and I even heard some people say that now everyting can be done using KML files which sounds kind of odd to me.
