I'm trying to create a service area map in Google Maps. When one searches for a city or town, Google outlines the town in a light red. If possible, I'd like to have multiple towns selected in this method.
I'm aware its possible to draw it out using the line tool, but there are about 60 towns and it would take forever. Any ideas?

If you dont find those town's boundaries somewhere online, then your only option will be digitizing them all. If you want to digitize those boundaries on a google map, then Google's Drawing Library and a little bit of Javascript programming will help you.
You can also use Quantum GIS together with the Openlayers plugin to be able to digitize based on a Google or OSM map.
