Basically I have some school catchment map that I would like to put on Google Map. I have done some research but it seems that we can only draw polylines. For example, I like to draw the red line from the attached image onto Google Map, how do I do that? Any tip or point of direction would be very appreciated!!

I need to create a shape on the google map. If the user wants to create a shape(Polygon, Circle, Rectangle, Square) with the help of Drawer he will be able to draw shapes.
Is there any related feature of Google Maps which I can use to achieve this feature?
Thanks in advance
There is, you may try reading Drawing Manager from Google Maps Api Drawing Layer (Library)
Here is a working example of what you can achive

I'd like to draw polygon into the Google Map API and cut another polygon which lies inside the first one off. Is this possible? Could you give me any example, please (maybe link to the page with working example)?
Thank you very much.
Objective: I'm trying to trace the NYC Boroughs in an overlay to google maps.
Issue: I can't find a proper shape. If i go to google maps and search for Bronx, I will get a nice outline of the Bronx. My problem is none of the shapes in the google documentation seem to fit with what i'm trying to do. The best match looks like a polygon, but that doesn't work well with all of the borders because of all the jaggedness. I'm trying to use overlays because I need them to be clickable

I don't need to individually trace each island, as what I'm doing is not that precise - but if you look at queens i don't see how i can reasonably use a polygon to capture this shape

I've tried starting at the center, and then tracing the border because i've found this to give me the best detail from all sides, but it obviously leaves this ugly line.

FusionTables contains some data that might be useful to you:
Bronx - from New York State counties
Richmond Cty (Staten Island) - from New York State counties
(from this page)
Not sure if this is any better than the one you drew.
I have a set of Latlng coordinates that I want to place on a Google Map, but instead of the usual markers, I want to create an overlay where a higher density of these latlng points will create a redder color overlay, while a lower density will give a greener overlay, everywhere in between will be a shade in between red and green. How can I achieve this?
You could try to build heat map with data stored in Google Fusion Tables.
Also, have a look at this question from GIS SE:
How could I turn my data into a heatmap / intensity map?
I'm looking looking for a tool that will allow me to make a map exactly like this:
http://datasearch.uts.edu.au/about/mapsdirections/map.cfm
Basically I need to put shapes around buildings in the satellite view and then slap a marker and information window on them so that I can specify the building name and contents.
So the main issue is that I need the ability to draw shapes directly onto the maps as I don't fancy taking down the lat lng of each corner of the polygon.
Ideally what I'd like to do is have an online application that exports those points to KML, and then I would display google maps on my site and import that kml to display it.
Other suggestions welcome!

Found a polygon creator
http://www.the-di-lab.com/polygon/
It's simple to use and allows you to copy and paste straight into your code. Would be nice if it had a button that said sent to kml though..
