In my app i need to make a big map. I used this code to load image of map to the Google map as a ground overlay. 

GroundOverlayOptions newarkMap = new GroundOverlayOptions() 
            .position(new LatLng(0, 0), 27000000f, 12735849f)  
            .image(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.map3));
googleMap.addGroundOverlay(newarkMap);

However, after several entries to the fragment with the map, i get OOM exception.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a 134217740 byte allocation with 16777216 free bytes and 37MB until OOM

So, is there any way to load large images to the Google map?

Don't load whole image - use TileProvider like in this answer of Alex Vasilkov

The bitmap you are trying to use is evidently very large. Check out this link from Google that will explain the how and why to load bitmaps in a more efficient manner : https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/graphics/load-bitmap.html
