Question

Support for neighbourhood overlays.

As you can see with the following URL, a neighbourhood "place" renders a pink shape file with a red boundary, and includes the neighbourhood name in red letters in the centre.

https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Sandy+Hill,+Ottawa,+ON

It's cooked into Google Maps, but I'm not sure if this feature is available in the Google Maps API, so perhaps it's not fair to post a feature request here(?).

Yes, this is a Google Maps Site feature. But you can accomplish something similar using Topojoson shapes. Take a look: http://map-tools.io/examples/geojson.html

@yagoferrer Hmm, I'm getting a 404 on http://map-tools.io/dist/map-tools.js when accessing your example at http://map-tools.io/examples/geojson.html
