How can I make a program that works with Google Maps?

I want to create a simple overlay over Google Maps and allow me to label or name a house, or location, or body of water, etc. Id like to have it on my webpage for family members to use. Cant find anything.

Update:

Would making an "API" to use with Google maps require any specific permissions from Google in order to use it on my site? I am not computer handy and dont even know how I am going to make this. Probably hire someone. Thanks so far for the answers!

    It's called an API.

    You can read Google's own documentation here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/

    There's a Google Map API that you can tap into to make your own specific Google Map stuffs.
