So I'm making a website for my university where people can go online and check out where all the free food is on campus. I want the people with free food to be able to register their event, have this event stored in a database and have students be able to see all of the registered events on a campus map. The experience would be similar to someone searching for a Wal-Mart within a 10 mile radius on Google Maps and seeing the pins drop down on all valid locations. I just don't really know how to approach the problem of having people register their events at a particular location on campus, and then have a corresponding pin drop on the respective XY location on the campus map image. Also, I would like to use this tool for other campuses, so I'm trying to code the logic in such a way that I could apply it to any custom image basically.Are there existing API's that can do this or is this something I would have to code on my own? I looked up a couple maps APIs but didn't really find anything I was looking for.P.S. If it's helpful, I'm a CS major, so feel free to throw out technical terms without fear of me being able to figure it out, I just really don't know how to approach this problem :/
