So basically what i'm trying to achieve is this functionality in google maps v3,that they have in openlayers: http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.11/examples/image-layer.html
Hide the base layer of googlemaps (the actual map), and then add a image overlay that is placed over the entire surface of the map.
Is this possible? and do anyone have any solutions at hand?
It's called a GroundOverlay: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#GroundOverlay
However, while a GroundOverlay covers the base map, it does not remove it. You'd need a custom map type for that: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/maptypes#CustomMapTypes
It would be fairly easy to develop a custom map type that always returns a blank tile.
