Get lng and lat from Google maps

Hi

I am trying to have a google map where the user can click on the map and choose a location. After that, I need to save the lng and lat chosen by the user from the map into the database using rails. What would be the best way to approach that?

Use event_id method

@map.event_init(@map, :click, "function(marker,point) { alert(point); }")

point will give u lat long information.
