This the first multi-image overlay I've done and it's still something of a "beta" version. I may add detailed overlays to more regions in the future (if I can find them). You can see the soil types in a number of areas around the world. The writing in some of the legends is hard to make out.

The default overlay upon loading is the entire world (in low detail).

There is a more detailed overlay for Africa available.

The following countries are mapped in detail:

Afghanistan
Argentina
Armenia
Bangladesh
Canada
Cuba
Denmark
Ecuador
England
France
Ireland (Eire & NI)
Israel
Lithuania
Nepal
North Korea
Pakistan
Philippines
Poland
Russia
Romania
Scotland
Sri Lanka (external link)
USA

As well as the following regions within countries:

Japan: Hokkaido
Japan: Kyushu
Kazakhstan: Aral Sea region
Malaysia: Peninsular Malaysia
Myanmar: Rakhine

The map for Sri Lanka is just linked to because the file was >2mb and was slowing the browser down too much.

I recommend that you don't have all the high detail images on at once if you hate waiting for things to load.
