Custom Google Map Overlays

A while back I mentioned Maplib, the Google Maps API tool that lets you upload a large image, then use the Google Maps interface to view and annotate it (See my example photo here). Next in the same line of tools like this is a site titled: Custom Google Maps Overlays. In short, it lets you overlay other types of maps on top of the Google Maps interface with the ability to add an additional map button next to the Map - Satellite & Hybrid mapping views. The main page contains some examples and recent additions and a quick link to get started with lots of instructions and a good interface. This is a fantastic DIY Google Maps tool!
