Very nice! Based on the email thread, I think you are fetching predefined areas from existing WMS servers and are caching them locally, then feeding them to the viewers. That makes sense and fits directly into the discussion topic on the WMS Tiling mailing list: http://lists.eogeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tiling What we're doing is looking at existing tiling schemes with a goal of perhaps picking a single tiling scheme that can be used by all the virtual globes accessing WMS. That way the tile caches could be distributed and we would be able to use things like torrents, P2P, squid, etc. Allan
