Can I use Google Earth to create custom layers? If yes is there a tutorial or article?

The reason I ask is that the site in the manual for GMap has been removed.

You can but its not easy. Lots of manually editing the world file to scale and line up the overlay.

Thanks, so where can I get GMap? Does this application still exist?

You can download GMAP via the attachment below.

The way I use it is to open the Net4.0 version, select either GoogleChinaHybridMaps or BingHybridMaps are the type, hold down Shift and drag to select the area I want, click "Get Static", make sure "make Wordfile" is selected, select the Zoom I want (high is more detail and bigger filesize), wait, move to separate folder as not to clutter up my desktop, rename the PNGW file to a PGW file (Command won't import the JPEG otherwise), and then add the JPEG as a custom layer in C:MO.

Thanks! I finally figured it out! It was easiest than what I expected!
