Re: [mapguide-users] Integration with Google Maps
When I want to simplyfing a layer I use ArcMap, however it doesn't simplify KML files. I guess that first you should simplyfing the layer with some software GIS desktop and then generate the kmz file. I know that arcMap has tools for generalizing layers, but likely some open source GIS desktop like gvsig or mapwindow could has it.

RE: [mapguide-users] Integration with Google Maps
It's definitely not ideal though; for best results complex geometries need to be generalized at source, and the coordinate precision reduced to 6 or 7 decimal places. This can make a huge difference in perceived performance. The former can be done using the built-in functionality, but to control the coordinate precision you need to write your own services using the APIs.

If you are serving it with MGOS, and if the problem is bandwidth or loading time you can switch to kmz format, as Jackie says.
