AM areas on Google Maps

Post by Wolfeye
I have the list (Excel) of all AMs in Sweden and would like to export the coordinates to polygons on Google Maps.
Does anyone know of a script or similar way to do this?

One problem is that all areas isn't always only four points as of a rectangle.
Another problem is that all coordinates is typed in one single cell separated with a space.

There's already an AM area map on gmaps. Don't remember where, but search the forums and wiki.

When you convert it to a kmz you should be possible to import it in gmaps. Or better is to use fusion tables. You can find some info on the web and I thought even on youtube.

But Sweden is doing selfmanagement isn't it? Then you add the area to the map when assign a new one?!

I know, but it requires that every AM add their areas manually. And that's never gonna happen.
