Google maps - outline a county
Is there an easy method to outline like counties with google maps? I realize I can do it manually with points, but it seems like there should already be an outline of counties somewhere in their code. Anybody know?

Well I sort of found out how to do it... I downloaded an insanely long list of points from census.gov which outlines all the counties in california (I only need 4, which I have isolated). anyway... it's like 30,500 lat/lon coordinates. I really don't know what to do next though. I was told to do this much by a few guys on google groups, but I see no way to convert this many points from the files they provided into something useful to me... like a mysql database. I guess it's time to do some research.
