Bing maps GPS

[AccessWorld]

There are a lot of tutorials on using Bing or Google maps to obtain addresses. What I am trying to do is use a Bing or Google map to place an flag on a location and associate it with a form Work order. I would like the web browser control to show our airport map on the form...allow users to select a spot on the airfield, tag it and return that GPS coordinate to Access. Each work order would display a web control map with that specific work order location. Lastly I'd like to display an overall airport map showing all open work orders.

No physical addresses need...just gps points on the map. Anyone ever tried something like this- perhaps hikers have done something similar to track their waypoints? New here..thought I'd ask if this is even possible.

Most I have read are about finding physical postal addresses.
