I just experienced it while trying to zoom in using the mouse zoom-box feature to my property out in the hills. It ended up quite a distance away from my target.I noticed this. I also notice, viewing the Puget Sound region, that there is some sort of projection issue. After zooming out it shows me in the water! Hmm... it appears intermittent. Zooming out and back in fixed it. Is this a known issue?
I saw that once and then ran out of time trying to duplicate it (couldn't at that time). The new code tweaks Xastir's zoom levels to match the map instead of the other way around, so that's likely most of the issues we're seeing. Hopefully that will be tweaked and we'll have precise georeferencing then, better than Tigermaps could deliver (due to their weird projection).
It also seems really slow (about as slow as Tigermaps!). Is any caching being done? (I don't have normal Xastir map caching support installed at this time)
Yes, but it's the normal Xastir map caching support that you're not running. I think the new code sometimes skips the caching in some instances.
Where does the big map come from--is it assembled from cached tiles by xastir, or is it rendered by a server somewhere?
Rendered by a server, similar to how Tigermaps were done. -- Curt, WE7U. <http://www.eskimo.com/~archer> APRS: Where it's at! <http://www.xastir.org> Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
