Alternative search method?

I've put in and customized the advanced search module for geomaps (see the very bottom of http://www.modelinsider.com/travel if you're curious).

 

I note that I can drill down on categories, use keywords, and then give a radius to an address that gets geocoded before being searched. That's excellent - but I'm wondering if there is functionality to use a map to select the search location instead of just typing in an address? Much like you use a  map for the "map it" functionality when creating a listing?

 

I ask, because some of my users are going to put something in the address text input that is ambiguous, and not have a chance to refine it. Someone will put "Paris" for example, thinking Paris, California - and get search results for Paris, France. Yes, I have some users who would do that.

 

Is this something that can be done that I'm just not seeing?
