Google Maps API - Drop a new pin

Question

I'd like users to be able to drop a pin on my custom Google Maps integration, similar to the ability to do this in the "My Maps" section on Google. I can't find anything about allowing a user to drop new pins through the API though. Can anyone provide some info or point me to the right direction?

Thanks!

If you're using V3, a good example can be found at http://www.geocodezip.com/v3_example_click2add_infowindow.html. The tutorials at http://econym.org.uk/gmap/ are also a good place to start, and there are loads of useful links for V2 and V3 at http://www.geocodezip.com/.
