There are a lot of variations of this unique way to provide guest interaction to your web site, and recently I have had the need to explore some the google map api capabilities.

this GuestMap is the side effect of some of the research I did. I will compile some documentation to the solution but, all source code is only a proof of concept and provided as-is. feel free to extend it how ever you like just please provide a link back to this site in the source code.

I would be glad to help anyone make this work for their site.

the solution is developed in ASP.Net 1.1, javascript and HTML, leveraging a SQL back end.

.

I began to develop Flash Admin UI's to overlay the google map to provide configuration screens, but the additions were beyond the scope of my research.

If you would like some ideas on that feel free to ask.
