title: Get/create Polygon with Google Maps Web Service API
body: <p>I need to access an existing map with a polygon or create a new polygon with given coordinates through Google Maps Web Service.</p>
  
  <p>I'm building a  java application that needs to access a polygon and check if some given coordinates are inside a drawn polygon (coordinates loaded from KML or sent though parameters).</p>
  
  <p>All this needs to be done on runtime so I don't need to display a map, I only need to access the map and check the polygon with the coordinates.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried the javascript API but it's of little use given that my application wont be able to call javascript functions on runtime.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas where I might start?</p>
