How to Import to Google Maps
Google Map's "Import" feature let's you upload map data, such as pictures and POI (Points of Interest), from online sources or maps saved on your computer. So whether you want to upload a route created by another user or you'd like to reload a map you've saved, you can upload any map saved in KML, KMZ or GeoRSS format.
