title: Adding text overlay to Google Maps
body: <p>This is such a simple problem, but I can't find an answer anywhere...</p>
  
  <p>I have a python script that returns a bunch of numbers that represents the total number of items for a given geographic region. I have a bunch of <code>.kml</code> files that I made that represent the geographic bounds for each region. I want to take those numbers created by the script and paste them over top the matching <code>.kml</code> overlay. I can't figure out how to do this. I know how to add the <code>.kml</code> files, but I can't figure out how to do the text. Theres a lot of information on Google's site on how to add marker icons, polylines, even images to the map, but I can't find how to add just a simple bit of text.</p>
