A polygon is a drawn shape.  For highlighting one or two zipcodes,
polygons would be ideal.  To draw a polygon you need to know the
collection of coordinates of its outline, this is available for
zipcodes.

Polygons take time to draw at the browser, for hundreds of zipcodes it
is better to do some kind of iumage or tile overlay.

There's no reason you shouldn't combine approaches to show all zipcode
areas, and highlight some particular area on top.

Have a look through some of these for ideas.

Bear in mind that under the terms of the free API your map must be
publicly viewable, is it okay for us all to know what your salesmen
are about?

Bearein mind that API v2 (topic of this group) is deprecated, for a
new project you might want to implement in Maps API v3 instead.
