There aren't that I know of, but GMap is so quick and easy to use I'm not sure there's much point (except for scenario creators making them specially for their own scenarios). You can make an overlay for an area in less than a minute.
To do it with GMap you:
1. Open GMap.
2. Alt-drag around the area you want
3. Choose a map to source from using the drop-down on the right(I use Bing Satellite Map).
4. Click 'Get Static'
5. Choose a zoom level. This depends on the area you're covering. For all of Ireland, I'd use about 9, for a single block in Dublin I'd use 19. The higher the zoom level and bigger the area, the more it downloads and the longer it takes. I try to keep the amount (shown on the progress bar while it's working) below 400.
6. Click 'Generate'
In CMANO you just load the .png file that's been generated. You can also neaten it up and make changes in Photoshop.
If you want, you can also cover a large area with a low zoom level, then repeat the process on smaller areas within it with a higher zoom level. Load the large-area png in CMANO first, then load up the smaller areas. This way you'll have a nice big overlay covering your entire mission, with smaller overlays giving even more detail to key areas.
