Oh definitely. I use this trick for displaying large amounts of vector
data atop Google Maps imagery, when I know that the vector data is way
too much to present as vector data.
It does have the usual caveats, though: you're using Google's software
and API, so you're subject to their terms. But if you can live with
that, definitely a good move.
