I fail to see how downloading the few tiles yourself and cropping a few pixel away makes it much more expensive than fetching one big image. It should basically be the same. In any case, MapOf is supposed for people who want to have one nice picture for their web page, it's not the mobile app map displaying source. I repeat: MapOf is quite expensive on the server, compared to fetching tiles. spaetz _______________________________________________ Tilesathome mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tilesathome
