 * Is it possible to add a custom map overlay to these Google maps, so I can control
   the appearance, rather than choose between the Google presets?
 * Thanks for any help.

 * I know something like this is possible with Google Maps in general. Just need
   to know how to do it with this plugin. Thanks.

 * The plugin doesn’t support that, but you could write your own JavaScript that
   runs alongside the plugin to do it.

 * Hi gereby,
 * I have not figured this out yet. I suppose if the plugin author wasn’t/isn’t 
   planning on incorporating a feature like this, we’d just have to find some javascript
   to do it. Not what I wanted to hear, haha, but seems to be what will work.
