Here is a new tool from Yahoo that lets you add any graphic as an overlay on a normal Yahoo map. A slider tool lets you make the graphic transparent so the underlying map can be seen.
Mapmixer gives anyone the ability to easily place a graphic (I tried GIF, JPG and PNG) over the web 2.0 version of Yahoo’s interactive maps. The process takes four steps:
1 – Choose the city or location for your overlay.
2 – Upload your graphic.
3 – Adjust the size and position of your uploaded graphic so it fits the map.
4 – Tag and publish your Mapmixer.
This site has a lot of potential for educational projects.
To appreciate the above map a little more, check out the full screen version.
