Have a look at the MCustomTileLayer object at

Thank you very much for your quick reply!
After having a look at the script i wonder if its not to much for my
purpose? I mean i just want to add one single png to every tile. not a
complete "second" map like the heatmap. there is no need f.e. to scale
the tile overlay. as you can see here http://www.maerskfleet.com/#live-map
the overlay is always of the same size

Thx in advance

You're going to have to do a little bit of work to simplify that map to your own desires. It's certainly not complicated to do.

Works great on maps. Thx a lot for the hint! Is there a solution for
google street view to add such an tile overlay?
