Google Maps

[WallyAnchor75]

Hi.

I'm trying to create a website that incorporates a region type selector for google maps. The Google documentation seems hard to follow - and seems difficult to work out which documentation is old and which is current...
An example of what I'm trying to achieve:

http://googlemapsapi.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/love-my-maps-use-its-line-and-shape.html

- this is ideal, but requires the ability to read the external coordinates and write them to a database for later use.

The ideal process is - 1. Read co-ordinates from database (if they exist). 2. If they exist, the ability to move/add/delete coordinates. 3. If not exist - the ability to add coordinates.

This example seems to presume some prior knowledge of the google api, which I don't have....

I would think this was a quite common scenario/use for Google maps, but I haven't been able to find anything similar that I can build upon. Can somebody help me out here please?

I'm most familiar with programming in asp.net (VB).
This looks like it'll mostly be javascript based. Again, I hope it's not too difficult to an existing programmer.

Cheers
Wally

You will have to consult the API and it's documentation. This has nothing to do with ASP.NET even though that is what you will be using it in. I believe that they have forums to post to. There they will be better able to answer your questions.
