Thanks for the helpful reply Martin. For a second thought, isn't this going to
return every click on the map? It's impossible to figure which click is when
the user want to pick a particular spot. Can we trigger the function if the
click for example last for 2 seconds ? What are other solutions for this case
does the API offer?

Hi.
You can add an event listener to your map listening for the 'click'
event.
google.maps.event.addListener(myMap, 'click', function(myEvent){
var myClickLatLng=myEvent.latLng;
// now process myClickLatLng
});
That 'pseudo code' assumes your map object is named myMap, on a map
click the function executes and is passed a MouseEvent object which
has a latLng property - where the user clicked on the map.

Scroll down to the Map Events section.
