This is very odd - I am able to download tiles individually (both
fully-escaped and non-escaped), but when I try to download the entire
map, not even one tile will load. The rapidity/volume of the tile
requests must be triggering an 'overload' of some sort that makes the
carrier cut the connection... In the meantime, the iPhone Safari debug
console is very limited (and reporting 'no errors'), so I'm going to
see if there's a more extensive debugging tool.
