I would like to ask my users to enter their address information and display the location on a map. What is the best way ?

You need to use the Geocoding API from Google Maps, which converts an address string to latitude & longitude (and, vice-versa, known as reverse geocoding). Using those latitude & longitude, you may set markers on the map using Static map API that generates a snapshot with markers based on provided latitude and longitude. A detailed explanation on Geocoding API is mentioned here - Geocoding API - Getting Started
Also, Google Maps documentation is the best place to find out more.
