Google Maps KML Solution Validation

Question

Google Maps newbie (GIS newbie), I'm looking at a solution to map an overlay (number of polygons) on-top of Google maps and wondered if using a KML file was a viable solution?

Basically, I have a number of address (address data) that I will pass to our internal GIS system, the GIS system hands me back a KML file (one file with a number of different locations) and then I draw the polygon using the KML Layering options:

Sound like a viable solution?

Yes, it is a viable solution. Using KML Layer to display kml will cause the data to be rendered as tiles. You could also import your kml into FusionTables and use a FusionTablesLayer.
