I have a KMZ vector file which works fine on my Google Earth application, but i want to overlay this on my phone (android) through Google maps.

Is that possible?

A KMZ file is simply an archived structure, containing a main KML file and zero or more supporting files. I'm assuming you want the KML data? That's what represents the "route"-like content of the KMZ. As far as displaying a KML file goes, it's been done before - check out this previous SO question - it involves parsing the KML with a SAX parser (or other compatible parsing class) and piecing it into a path. Once you have a list of coordinates, you can create a custom Overlay class, which could take in a coordinate list as an argument. Then, on the onDraw() method of the Overlay class you simply draw a path representing the list of coordinates. For more information on drawing routes, check this out.

If that's not what you're looking for, drop a comment and I'll see what I can do!
