This suggestion in not entirely specific to WordPress. However, if this is applicable to your implementation, you can add markers on a map using the Maps JavaScript API

So in your form, you can include a Place Autocomplete to search for an address in your form page. Then get the place's details using the getPlace() function including the coordinates of the selected address to plot onto your map which looks something like this:

var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input);
var marker;

autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', function() {

          var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
          if (!place.geometry) {
            // User entered the name of a Place that was not suggested and
            // pressed the Enter key, or the Place Details request failed.
            window.alert("No details available for input: '" + place.name + "'");
            return;
          }

          marker.setPosition(place.geometry.location);
          marker.setVisible(true);
      });
