Adding an interactive map to my website - javascript

I'm relatively new coder and am currently putting together a website as part of my University work. I'd really appreciate it someone could give me advice on how I would go about adding an interactive map that uses JavaScript to show my location.
Thanks!

Google maps, just copy paste and edit the latlong to your desired position.
And here is one example getting position from browser and marks it on the map:

You can use Google Maps API and code it by hand if you are good at coding :)

Leaflet - Draw road path in real-time based on two marker

Here's the sample of application that draw road path based on two markers
Sorry I cannot search the tutorial to create this one because I cannot determine the right keyword.
All i want is to place two markers, then the road path will be created between those markers. It will adjust as one marker is moved.
Please provide insights on how this can be achieved. A sample code is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You create the map twice, at first the map where you want to draw the route, then onload a new map, which overwrites the first one.
Solution: create only 1 map-object

How to add address to a google map on web page?

I am creating a web app. One of the page is designed to show google map of an address traced from database. So after I get langitude and latitude using gencode, I know how to draw the google map, but how do I show an address tag on that map? Any help is appreciated.

You are probably talking about a Marker concept.
Take a look at this article
A couple of other SO folks asked similar questions. These might be helpful:
Draggable markers
While this may be OT, if you ever decide to remove a marker, also look at this question
There is also detailed Marker docs available at the usual API docs site

Google Maps Points do not appear until low zoom levels

I'm working on a (Perl) program that uses the Google Maps API and a KML file to pull data from a database that creates points on the map. I have that much done, but the points only appear after I zoom pretty much all the way in, to a zoom level where only one point is showing.
The default zoom only shows my small city (3-5 miles) so I thought all the points would be able to show. Does anybody know how to get all of the points to show up at city-wide level as opposed to only showing up when zoomed all the way in?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: Added a JavaScript tag because I've seen a lot of work done with Google Maps using JS, and considering the problem really isn't language-specific, I figured some of those developers might be able to offer some insight.

Try to incorporate the <Lod> tag in your KML, which is child of a <Region>. You can define this once per placemark you get from your DB. or only once per query (defined by minLat, maxLat, minLong, maxLong). In the first case the LodPixels is a constant whereas in the latter case you must calculate it as a function of the region size. It sure works in Google Earth and may work as well in Maps. Look here to see it work in Earth API (JS)
....
<Region>
<LatLonAltBox>
<north>###</north>
<south>###</south>
<east>###</east>
<west>###</west>
<minAltitude>###</minAltitude>
<maxAltitude>###</maxAltitude>
</LatLonAltBox>
<Lod>
<minLodPixels>###</minLodPixels>
<maxLodPixels>###</maxLodPixels>
<minFadeExtent>###</minFadeExtent>
<maxFadeExtent>###</maxFadeExtent>
</Lod>
</Region>
....
