please try this. hope it help. 1. make map as global variable. 2. initialize map 3. add marker on button click event.
<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
function initialize() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('mapCanvas'), {
zoom: 8,
center: latLng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
};
jQuery("$addmarker").click(function(){
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(23.72, 72.100),
title: 'Marker',
map: map,
draggable: true
});
})
</script>
Here is my complete sample code.
<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
function initialize()
{
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng('23.11', '71.00'),
zoom: 2,
scrollwheel: false,
disableDefaultUI: false,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),mapOptions);
}
function addMarker()
{
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(23.72, 72.100),
map: map,
});
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="initialize();">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:700px; height:500px;"></div>
<input type="button" id="addMarker" value="addMarker" onclick="addMarker();"/>
</BODY>
</HTML>

data is array which contains lat and lng
function addMarker(data) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.lng),
map: map
});

You need to put the part:
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
[...]
});
inside a onclick event listener.
The jQuery way to do this with a button element:
$('button').on('click', function() {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
[...]
});
});
You have to think about making the variables map and latLng global.

var map; // Declare map as global.
function initialize() {
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(-29.3456, 151.4346);
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('mapCanvas'), {
zoom: 8,
center: latLng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
}
// Call addMarker on click of the button.
function addMarker(){
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(-29.3456, 151.4346); // Put lat long as desired.
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
title: 'Marker',
map: map,
draggable: true
});
