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.
