I have done this before, and used google sketchup.
1. I couldnt do it.
2. Yes you can. First you need to use in express tools "image cleanup" and go to simplify polylines with a factor (otherwise it will be to big file and a lot of processor time will be spent)
From there on you can create 3d rendering of counour lines.
But i didnt do it here, I sent them to sketchup and made terrain there.
I then made the road alignment in civil3d - use "convert to 3d polyline".
Use this to create real view of road.
You can then place that model in google maps from sketchup
If you dont understand something let me know.
I can also send you some pictures so you cand see how it looks like
Regards
