I'm interested in this as well. I run an Offroad site and want to include pins for known offroad parks.
I tried some obvious text editing things that did not work. I added new lines and changed the username, text, and lat / long. those lines were deleted upon loading googlemap.php I added a new line and edited all fields but username, and those lines were also deleted on loading.

Although I hate to hack at the usernames table, I'm considering it.

forgot to mention...
I used http://www.zipinfo.com/search/zipcode.htm to get a bearing on a beginning lat / long. the site accepts zip+4 for US addresses. Once the Beginning lat / long and an appropriate zoom level is defined most users can easily set their marker.
