Tips & Warnings

* The Google Maps API is available to advanced web designers. More information is available at the Google Maps API website (see Resources below).
* Google will not allow you to embed traffic maps or Mapplets into your website.

Yes, it can be done. I've done one for my company. You can use the google maps API and you will need a database to store the Latitude and Longitude of the addresses. I don't think what you are asking for is a Mapplet, just normal google maps.

Google API can do a search on the addresses entered and return the Lat and Long of the address (geo coding). Store that in the database.

You are only allowed something like 5000 lookups per day so if your site will get a lot of traffic then you will have to buy your key. Storing Lat and Long means you don't need to look up addresses as you display them, only when you are entering.

You can sign up for a free Google maps API Key. keep the key and use it or pass it to your web developer.

The google maps API uses javascript to display the maps and retreive addresses. If you are handy with JS or if you have a developer who is, these links may be helpful:

Google Map API Concepts
Google Maps API examples
Google Maps API Reference

this topic might be best moved to web developers forum, you might get some more help there.

Edit: I should add, the "pushpins" are just a feature of the normal map API. The "bubbles" just display normal HTML code.

ex. »code.google.com/apis/maps/docume···ure.html

You can use the API to make them look however you want.

This site has a bunch of tutorials

Try the ArcGIS Javascript Extension for the Google API
»resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/···?fa=home

You can use a dojo datastore to store you data and then use the "show results as KML" example as a foundation:
»resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcg···kml.html

The Code Gallery has some more detailed examples:

Look at esri.arcgis.gmaps.MapExtension.addToMap or esri.arcgis.gmaps.MapExtension.addToMapAsync

»resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcg···xtension

The Overlay options give you complete control over the symbology (including access to all of the GMarker icons).
InfoWindowOptions gives you control over the pop up display when an icon is clicked.

I think they just used the google maps api combined with some php scripting to handle the form.
