I've been reading a bit about GeoDjango and it sounds intriguing. A

GeoDjango is equally efficient utilizing the Google Maps API with
JavaScript or JQuery to obtain the proper coordinates.
if your activity is commercial, google will make you pay. Geodjango with
OSM is free - and OSM is more accurate than google and the raw data is
available. Also look at openlayers - that may fulfill your needs without
geodjango.
The benefits beyond that include things like being able to query your
data for points within a bounding box, or create a buffer around a point
to select nearby points, or test if you're points intersect with other
features of interest.
