Sorry, I didn't see your message until now and I didn't mean to imply that you posted to the wrong group, I was trying to indicate that my answer wasn't about something that was appropriate to this group. > > > For the data, I'm still overwhelmed.

As the v2 API is deprecated and might stop working a year from now, it might be better to develop new maps in v3. The group for that is: http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-js-api-v3 You can use a 3rd party kml parser to convert kml into native google map polylines. You can either extract the data you need from those or you can write a kml parser that creates the data you need, but it won't be a trivial effort, particularly for a rookie, but it is doable, and the pieces are available, both for the v2 and the v3 apis. However, it you were to explain _why_ you needed the data or post a link to a map in progress that shows what you are trying to do, someone might be able to provide more relevant advice.
