Hi Robert, I had a similar problem serving maps of Austria. (The whole country)
Since I am the maintainer of the imagemosaic jdbc module, I can assist you if you want to store your image data in a jdbc database. If you feel better to use files, Simone should assist you. 1) Do you have the image as a single file ?. If not, create one using gdal_merge. 2) Check with gdal_info if the image has a color table, if not, convert it with rgb2pct (If you are unsure, send me the output of gdalinfo) 3) Use gdal_retile to create tiles/pyramids, size should be 512x512. 4) Depending on the jdbc database you use, create the configuration. Look here http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/tutorials/imagemosaic-jdbc/imagemosaic-jdbc_tutorial.html Btw, could you solve the problems with the German special characters ?
