Using a JPG image to make How do I create a custom "Google Maps" visualisation from game map images?

I am attempting to create the equivalent of a GoogleMapsGoogle Maps map for a private Ultima Online server that has, with a custom map replacing the default map.

I'd like to allow players to pin important locations on the map and post screenshots of their play activity at a particular location.

I've seen this done in other games like Wurm Online, and I'm wondering if there is. Does such a version of GoogleMaps that is free to use somewhere that would just allow me to snag Google's code and swap outGoogle Maps (or a different image file for the base map. Do you know of anything that allows this kind of map making, orsimilar service) exist? Or would I basically have to build the whole thing from the ground upit myself?

Thanks!
