As far as I can tell, they're only using Google Maps for the display layer, the actual polygons are entirely theirs.

If you draw polygons based on what you see on Google Maps (or any other copyrighted map), your polygons might be found to be a derived work of the original Google Map.

Otherwise, you could just trace all the roads on Google Maps to make your own $BLAH Maps, that's obviously not legal.
