Whoops, I was on my phone, so I didn't realize this had gone off-list. Best keep it on for others looking for similar information. Anyhow, back at my computer now, so links:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html and more specifically http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GTileLayer The best tutorials out there (props to Mike Williams): http://econym.org.uk/gmap/ You'll also need a way to tile the image(s). I use NASA's Vision Workbench, which is available for a number of platforms, is open source, has a handy quad-tree image cutter, etc. http://ti.arc.nasa.gov/project/nasa-vision-workbench/ There are many other tools available, and what you use is up to you. I use that one because a) I know how to use it and b) I met the NASAns who work on the project and they seem like nice folk. ;) -G On Oct 23, 2009, at 5:26 PM, Joshua Zappacosta wrote: > Greg, > > Thanks for the pointers.
