Thanks for the reply but I really need all of those polygons.. I'll give a sample here of my problem..
in this first picture, using google earth it shows the the different regions quite nicely http://s905.photobucket.com/albums/ac259/telegis/?action=view¤t=sampleRegion.jpg but when i tried to get some of the polygons from the google earth or the KML file, this is what happened http://s905.photobucket.com/albums/ac259/telegis/?action=view¤t=sampleRegioningmap.jpg the polygons did not show up properly, as far as i know, it shouldn't be like that what I'm thinking is that.. is there a way for me to encapsulate each polygon so that for every addition of overlay/polygon in the google map, it will not affect the other polygon and will not result to something similar to the second image? please help me, i really need help, my deadline is fast approaching thank you very much again.
