A few remarks:
* Note that your image has to be in Mercator projection format. Note that your image has to be in Mercator projection format.
The image we've used is based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mercator_projection_SW.jpg ; that you can find in wikipedia's article on Mercator Projection (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection).
## Using an image from a url
You can also provide simply URL. In this case, the image will not be embedded in folium's output.
