What’s new in version 3.5?

                This extension will allow you to add a circle, image, KML or Terrain overlay on Google Map Maker.

Drawing circles in Google Map Maker can be difficult to get right.

This extension will show a circle overlaid over the map which you can use to trace when mapping circles such as roundabouts.

You have various options you can change to customize the overlay to your liking.

You have the option of overlaying any image and sizing and rotating so it fits where you want it.   You can save these images along with the position set for quick loading later without having to get the image in the correct spot again.

You also have the option of adding a KML overlay.

Adds a control at the top left of the map to on and off the terrain map.

Doesn't work at all. It just brings you back to the chrome web store description everytime you click it.
