Custom maps are now in, as a pop up under Advanced, with automatic zoom layer creation and potential matching up to Google's tiles (to be usable for navigation). The source image needs to be square and 512*2^n pixels per side (512x512, 1024x1024, 2048x2048, etc. max 262144x262144 = 1024x1024 tiles)
I'm glad to hear that it's not just me going mad, and other people have also run into similar issues when converting lat/lon to x/y - so automatically positioning the source map is disabled for now.
As an example of custom maps, and what could be a neat feature if I can get the projection correctly. I've created maps out of NASA's star maps from http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/stars.html the source 2880x1440 images are scaled up to 4096x4096 and then run through the application.

If there is someone who knows what the correct projection for star maps would be please let me know. Also, any help with extracting the correct constellation map (and POI maybe) out of http://pp3.sourceforge.net/ would be much appreciated. And, last of all, does anyone know of a source where/how I could get a POI set which would draw out the continental borders - to overlay the star maps, making them useful when running Map This! without GPS.
I suspect that there are a lot of maps that are public domain (national parks, government geological survey, some subway system maps, etc.) so if you create a Map This! compatible map from one of the public domain sources please post it on here. And if there is enough interest I, or somebody else maybe, could setup a repository.
nforce100, thanks a lot for the script - I'll try and put it in in the next few days. As for the free Map24 API - that is unfortunately a non-runner, as you have to actively agree to their TOS when signing up for the program.
kididio, you now get prompted to try and re-downlaod missing tiles at the end of the load (it can be disabled under Advanced). As I have not encountered many problems with timeouts lately I haven't been able to test this - please let me know if it works.
