Idea: Mapping: German postcode zones (1-dig, 2-dig) available?

Hi all - on the map it would be great, if the postcode zones were visible. As such a layer currently seems not be available, I'd like to add a pic in the background, showing the current map semi-transparent, jpg + map grouped for zoom.
-> any idea?
Caution: attached postzone map might not be free, it's googled...

It's not possible to simply overlay one map on another, because aligning the maps would be at best difficult, perhaps impossible should the maps have a different projection.

In the long term pipeline, you'll be able to import or draw zones on maps.

Thank you, Steve - awaiting the long term pipeline... :o)

There is a sample version of this available for the UK...turn on experimental features and look at:

Map View: View Toolbar: Map: Other online Maps > UKpostcodes

This was not done by us - we found it, and configured it as a tiled map in Omniscope.
We can do the same for most Open Street Map derivations if you can find all the data you need.
