Cool map.
Kinda sucks that you have to go through the trouble of getting your lat/long figures though.
That guy who made it is pretty good, and I imagine sooner or later someone who knows javascript will help out and they'll have an update that allows you to click it like the old.
Similar to Frapper, which lets you click to add your pin to a google map:

If you have trouble getting your lat/lon, try this. It will position your pin PRECISELY where your house is!
1)Go to http://maps.google.com
2)Type in your address. Zoom and move the map around until you find your location.
3)Double click the map exactly where your house is - this will center the map on that location.
4)In the top right of the window is a link: "Link to this location". Click it.
5)You now have a new URL in your browser's address bar. Looks something like this:
The numbers after "ll=" are your latitude and longetide. Copy and paste them individually in the boxes, in the same order, and you will have your location precisely mapped.
For example, with the above URL, "52.187405" is my latitude, and "1.845703" is my longetitude.
Make sure to include the negative sign "-" if it is present.
