Hi Rich,
I thought maybe you meant that both questions were equally important. :)
I think "Add Image Overlay" is a Google Maps feature that's not related to what we're talking about. I could be wrong, though.
As for the specifics of implementing this feature - we should probably talk about this "offline". But I'm glad you asked about it publicly, so that I can state that I'm very happy to help anyone who wants to improve any of my extensions. And I'm certainly looking forward to having this useful capability be supported again.

Hi Yaron,
Question #1:On the current version of the “Maps” extension for MW 1.31 (v6.0.3), the bottom right option in the “MapEditor” Special Page is “Add Image Overlay”. Is this a remnant of the lost feature that would facilitate custom maps? .. Or does this still function in some other way that I am misunderstanding?
Question #1: Also, I’d like to propose a quick collaboration. I have a very capable programmer that I can have work on this for us, but they aren’t readily familiar with the mediawiki extensions model. If I were to get them setup in github and create a fork of the Maps or Page Forms, or Cargo extension and able to perform pull-requests.. would you have time to answer their questions and tell them how you’d like to see the feature re-implemented? Maybe we can make quick work of this together? And I’d be happy to update the extension manual when done. Thoughts?
