A background-picture rather than a map [#915028]

OpenLayers is a wonderful module to locate nodes on a map.
I need to do the same things but not on a map, on a picture.
For example, I want to put on the picture of an airport some links to different nodes (restaurant, attraction, ...), just as OpenLayers do with a map.

Is that possible with OpenLayer ? I have not found any module to do that. If not, I should maybe build my own module.
Any idea ?

Thanks a lot.

You might want to try implementing the Image layer type which allows you to do this.

In the case of a Image layer type, there is no projection to set so how do we handle the "Layers & Styles" section which required 900913 or 4326 value?

I'am have the same problem with the zoomify layer type...

I haven't really used this area of OpenLayers, but you can set a projection on both types - since they inherit from the Layer type. So, you can set that as 4326 or 900913 - probably 4326 for the most natural handling. I'm not sure exactly, though, it'll take some experimentation.
