Hi, I quoted your message down below and answeing inside text.
But for beginning: I solved this in PHP, so I don't know how much this
will be helpful for you

Since you have Google Maps API key, you can create as many maps as you
want. best way is to create on "sign up page" small map with one
marker. When marker is dragged or you click into map, fields made for
your geoposition will be filled up:
a) create simple marker
var marker1 = new GMarker(center1, {draggable: true});
b) which will move itself by clicking into map
GEvent.addListener(map1,"click", function(overlay,latlng) {
marker1.setLatLng(latlng);
document.getElementById("latdeg1").value = latlng.lat();
document.getElementById("londeg1").value = latlng.lng();
});
c) and because this marker is draggable, you need to actualize
geoposition after dragging:
GEvent.addListener(marker1, "dragend", function() {
var latlng = marker1.getLatLng();
document.getElementById("latdeg1").value = latlng.lat();
document.getElementById("londeg1").value = latlng.lng();
});
d) latdeg1 and londeg1 are in my case input fields in PHP form where
values are filled in

No problem, just add apropriate fields into login form

No problem. I am also using SQL to save data. Anything you need to
know is that fields for latitude and longitude should be FLOAT(10,6)

No problem, you just need to define all the various pointers, for
example
var iconBlue = new GIcon();
iconBlue.image = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/
mm_20_blue.png';
iconBlue.shadow = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/
mm_20_shadow.png';
iconBlue.iconSize = new GSize(12, 20);
iconBlue.shadowSize = new GSize(22, 20);
iconBlue.iconAnchor = new GPoint(6, 20);
iconBlue.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1);
var iconRed = new GIcon();
iconRed.image = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/
mm_20_red.png';
iconRed.shadow = 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/
mm_20_shadow.png';
iconRed.iconSize = new GSize(12, 20);
iconRed.shadowSize = new GSize(22, 20);
iconRed.iconAnchor = new GPoint(6, 20);
iconRed.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1);
var customIcons = [];
customIcons["christie"] = iconBlue;
customIcons["poe"] = iconRed;
