No idea why it was set to 30. Presumably because that's better than 1 second! I thought the default was changed, but double checking shows it was just upping the max allowable value in gui preference. Maybe the value should be shown in days/hours. I mean how useful is it to set it to 54320 seconds? - what does that even mean! Agreed 1 week is much better, although personally I use 1 day (86400s) which might be better for OSM type usage. Another alternative could be to have another tile age for 'non-volatile'* maps such as mentioned: terraserver, bing, etc... *better name needed - stable? Which would default to something like a month. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
