hello

I have a big kml file over 500mb.
Is there a way to use it as a layer on googlemap ?

regards

Not realistically. You can't use Googles KML parser at that size. A
client-side parser is going to choke on processing it, too.
What kind of content is it? You might be better off setting up an
image tile server.

Is it conventional GIS mapserver (WebGIS) ?

I have processed ones that size in the past using my parser... 
If you send a link I might be able to test.
