As far as I know there is no "official" way of implementing customized oblique source. You can use GObliqueProjection to produce a set of tiles and create a GMapType to display oblique tiles, but that will not tie to the navigation control for rotation, or you have to use an undocumented class at this point. Cutting oblique tiles is not really a trivial task, it's more complicated than cutting 4 regular tile sets. The way oblique images are taken requires you to geoference the 4 corner, rectify to GObliqueProjection, then slice. Your link to MS site only addresses the regular Mercartor tiles, and it's not seems to apply to oblique at all. I'd be interested if you can show an example of using MS's method to cut oblique tiles that actually worked.
