Phnom Penh Map overlays on Google Maps

I have been too busy lately. I have uploaded a small project (called Oy-Moy) several weeks ago on Google Apps Engine, but I didn't have time to post it in my blog. It is about taking a map (jpeg/png) to overlay on top of Google Maps. Doing this has two ways: one is create a new maptype (GMapType) and another is create a new tilelayer (GTileLayer). The belows are list of links that show how to do this. I found the last link, http://www.bdcc.co.uk/GoogleCrunch/Crunch.htm, is the easiest way to do. It is abit slow because the tile images are too big in size about 132kb per tile. I just download this image somewhere on the internet and try this with google maps api.
