Add “Search Area” outline onto google maps result

by

As there is no yet solution offered by the Maps API and manually filling in coordinates is nobody’s business, here’s a gem of an alternative. Found this answer on the GIS website–absolute lifesaver (would’ve saved jurihandl a LOT of minutes drawing Calgary, above ;D):

You can get polygon coordinates in json for using with googlemaps
using openstreetmap. Go to http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/. Search
a place like “San Francisco, CA”

Click on “Details”

Look for OSM ID and copy it (control+c), example: 2018776

Paste the ID http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/index.py and download
the JSON file
