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.

[Semediawiki-user] interior maps extension
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?
