For the custom map alike, i found http://www.maptiler.org/. This tool can fragment a image in 256x256 pieces and generate a basic map viewer associate.

I make a test using the maximum resolution felucca map generate by UOAM and feed the tool, generating a openlayer (http://www.openlayers.org/ the same api use in the preview uo map that i post before) project with zoom 0-5 (a zoom of 6 or 7 suit better, i use 5 only for keep the file under 5 MB).

I affine the result a little (most important changes):
- Change the coords system (reversing latitude and shifting longitude) for using the same that UOAM.
- Allow define a marker using url (example: openlayers.html?lat=1000&lon=2000&zoom=4). The map automatically center the marker. Like the other map...
- Using a external json file you can define towns and dungeons (is easy integrate other types of marker's icons and using the same idea the possibility of feed the map with runuo in a easy way). The openlayer api allow other types of definitions, like regions or lines, i only try the eassy things ...
