use map.removeOverlay(overlay) before each GDownloadURL in the .js? might work, it's worked for me with 'click to add marker' map and remove the old marker (example here: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/WebApplications/Q_23826987.html) but have no experience in using it with GDownloadURL, worth a go through.
