how can I create a custom google map (of a place that does not exist)

Is it possible for me to create a custom map using Google Maps APIs of an imaginary place?

Are there examples of uses like that?

It would be of a group of islands, part of a story i'm writing...

If it is possible, are there exemples online?

Thanks!

Daniel

I would recommend a Google Maps API tutorial: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial

You should take a look at the chapter about Image Map Types

And here you have a working example.

The Google Maps Javascript API allows you to create a map and supply custom map tiles.

An example, the first I could find, is: http://maps.marlam.in/.

It's not easy and requires quite a lot of PNGs (if you want detail), but a description of how this particular example was built can be found here
