I forget it...

Really, what I put over the GMaps' frame isn't an only image. Really, I put many images of 100x100 pixels
(based on the raster) together. And after putting them, I "move" to avoid the overlap, as you can see
in this screenshot

I thought that I could avoid the overlap by reprojecting the raster, obtained from a MIF/MID files with UTM
projection and ED50 datum, of course, but I'm not sure now...

Anyway, thanks a lot everyone!
