You’ll first want to convert your KML/SHP to a list of lat/long pairs. For KML, you can simply open the KML file in an editor to get the lat/long pairs. For SHP, you can first use
shp2kmlto convert to KML.Then, use the
encodinglibrary in the Maps API, or you can write your own encoder using the algorithm.
