No, unfortunately. What kind of maps are they?
I just learned how to do this in Google Earth using Image Overlays.
Garmin has a quick tutorial on it.

You can ignore anything Garmin specific and jump right to the Google Earth portion.
This is what is available to do this for Android right now.

Again Thanks for the Quick reply.
I was wanting to use a private Timber company map that shows their roads and boundaries. This maps has a lot more roads then what is available over the net. The boundaries are very important keeping one off private land.
I would also like to use the Delorme topo maps.
How about city maps showing various street names and landmarks.
Thanks
