Hi, Could someone up at Google please look into importing municipality borders into MM?  There are several available KMZ's or KML's for this. The best I've found so far are the ones posted on the Google Earth forum by 'Mauricio_Espinoza'. Several examples:

Chihuahua

Also, a less accurate (at least for places I know) KML is available for whole Mexico here.

I'm not sure if MapMaker has been opened up in Mexico yet. I know it's open for the US, but Canada is still closed. I suspect Mexico is the same way right now.

I take that back. Looks like Google MapMaker is open in Mexico.

Make sure you search for the counties/municipalities first. Then, if you get no results, you're welcome to use the KML files you have and create the features yourself. It'd be a great project, and a big addition to the map!

The county/municipality 'capitals' are probably all there.  For instance, Namiquipa, Chihuahua, Mexico is on the map just fine, but there is no county boundary.  I know I can overlay the KMZ in GMM, and trace the lines, but I don't have that much time on my hands to manually map this all out.  Especially when its something that could be done in a snap by someone up there at Google.  So, if we could at least get this tread some attention by posting to it, maybe someone would help us out.
