MapKit: How to add a new map layer from very large images

Question

I have a ton of large images I need to overlay onto my MapKit view in order to display another map layer that covers the entire United States.

Is there a good way to do this? How could one handle loading only small portions at once to conserve memory?

Thanks!

You want to look into something like TileMill for chopping the images into geographic tiles and rendering them with something like MKOverlay or the MapBox iOS SDK.
