I would like to write what I'm using to generate my maps (MapTiler):

MapTiler is graphical application for online map publishing. Your map can
create overlay of standard maps like Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, OpenStreetMap,
your own image map and can be also visualized in 3D form by Google Earth.
Only thing you have to do for publishing the map is to upload the
automatically generated directory with tiles into your webserver.

http://www.maptiler.org/

Licence: New BSD License
Software Version: Beta
Supported Platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac

MapTiler is so easy to use, however here is a basic tutorial. Steps to
create an image map:
1.- Install and open de program
2.- Choose "Image Based Tiles (Raster)" and press "Continue"
3.- Press "Add" and find your image. For example: "map.png". Make sure your
image don't have special character then press "Continue"
3b (optional).- Don't set a transparency color if your image has
transparency, in that way you would be able to select the background color
of your mapa with code everytime you want.
4.- "Custom definition of the system" and press "Continue".
6.- Choose a zoom (for exmple: 0 and 7) and leave "PNG - with transparency"
then press "Continue"
7.- Choose a destination. For example: "C:\Users\john\Desktop\map" and press
"Continue"
8.- "OpenLayers option" and press "Continue"
9.- Press "Continue"
10.- Press "Render"

When the render will be finished you will get the code with map in the
folder you chose.

I hope this can help someone! I'm using this for my maps ^_^
