Google maps display polygon

Question

Hello all If i enter in google maps a point with this format:40.77065496240177 22.69926567871095 it will display a point in the map. How can i enter a polygon in the same way. I ask this to check the validity of the polygon and to visualize. Also if this is not visible i google maps is it more easier in google earth?

Seeing that you just want to view and validate the polygon from within Google Maps, put the polygon into a simple KML file and then either:

• Put the file in a public place on a web server and put its URL into the Google Maps search box, or,
• Go to My Maps in Google Maps, create a new map, and import the KML file from your hard drive.

It's fairly easy to create a simple KML file with a polygon, here's some documentation with a simple example.
