Adding an overlay to a google map - overlay

I made my own google map with historical information (of houses and people in the 50-s in Princenhage, The Netherlands):
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=174YNyi2hs_iVpoU0qLqOPq-YUxI&ll=51.57704585455824%2C4.737584814456795&z=18
Now I would like to add an aerial photograph of 1950 as an extra layer on this map so that my map looks as 'google earth in 1950'.
Is this possible and how to do this?

It is possible but you need to make a baseMap of your aerial photo. If you managed that you can use this example to add the basemap to your viewer:

Openstreetmap & leaflet

I am using Django, leaflet and openstreetmap.org to display the map in osm and topo formats. How to display just the map of a country. For example just display the map of Algeria? Thank you so much.
This trick can achieve what you need.
You can add a geojson file with the geometry of the country you want then customize the polygon to show just the country.
In the next link you will see a code example.

Put markers or layers on tags in OSM

I want to use openstreetmap to put a marker or zone an area with an overlay for certain locations like farmland or commercial buildings.
Is it possible to do a custom map, where I pan around and put a marker, or an area overlay on these specific places?
Looking at the official openstreetmap client I see now way of exposing this information.
For a farmland I want to add a farm building marker, and for a commercial building a commercial marker for example.

Is there a way to highlight roads using leaflet?

I have a complete set of waypoints (beginning, end, every intersection) and I'd like to display this on a map. I don't want to use a routing service and it should be offline.

I'm using leaflet.
Could the data be extracted from a relational database(PostgreSQL) and then convert it into GeoJSON and display on the map by leaflet?
I can't use any paid services either.
Leaflet has a polyline object. MapBox has a nice example how to use it.
I think scai has given you a good example to practice.By the way you can also store the data in JSON format in PostgreSQL.Refer this documentation for more details.JSON Types

MapBox.js Place Names Zoom Level

I am creating an application using MapBox.js, I would like to display all place names at Zoom Level 13 in MapBox Streets but some place names only will display at Level 14. Does anyone know if it is possible to change this preset on MB Streets without having access to their Style Sheets?
This is not possible at this time as this is pretty much burned into the streets layer (streets, streetnames, and place names). If you want further customization, I would suggest looking into TileMill and using something like the OSM Bright Quickstart to make custom basemaps.
