(It is perfect for use with Automatic Tile Cutter ; a Photoshop script is excellent when you want to Add Your Own Custom Map. It will slice large images at any zoom level you tell it to, making thousands of image tiles and naming them correctly. ) Via http://www.mapki.com/index.php?title=Knowledge_Base
