Use

You can use this application to add points to the map. The application will read any address, city or postcode as a string, and display it as a marker on the map.

To try it out, input any address into the input box. The map bounds will be adjusted to display this point, using a flying animation. You can try it with the coordinates of any other location (in WGS84) in the earth's surface.

You can also use this application to add markers to the map, just by clicking in the map's surface.
