How to use custom maps images in an iPhone app

I've searching about using custom maps (for example: a campus university map) in the iPhone App, using coordinates to get my actual position, etc.

I've found one way to do that: - Using de google code project: "Route-me" with the OpenStreetMap and map2sqlite.

The question is: ¿How I can put my own map layer (the campus university map, PNG file) into the World map to execute map2sqlite for getting the DB in the "route-me" project.

I've investigated into the OpenStreetMap site, but I didn't found the way to do that, only to add paths into the map, but not other image maps (tiles).

Thank you so much! Javier.

MapTiler is your friend, you will also need this little script to change tiles number and then pass everything to map2sqlite

for I in `find . -type f -maxdepth 3 -mindepth 2 -name *.png` 
    do OLDNAME=`basename $I .png` 
    DIRNAME=`dirname $I` 
    SEP1=${I#./} 
    SEP2=${SEP1%%/*} 
    NEWNAME=$((2**$SEP2-$OLDNAME-1)) 
    mv "$I" "$DIRNAME"/"$NEWNAME.png" 
done

then you can also compress the png images with pngcrush
