| Dec 22, 2012 at 1:12 | comment | added | elrobis | @BradHards thanks for taking an interest. We (me and another fella at my company) formerly used 256x tiles in our stuff, but we found---in our case---512 creates a better UX. I realize alot of queries on this subject suggest 256x creates a better user experience, but this wasn't the outcome of our experimentats. Maybe our server is slow, but our product, for enterpise clients (not the general public using smart phones), uses a full-screen map viewport. So that said, all of our existing sites use 512x, and I want to stay true to 512x tiles when we deploy the OSM data. | |

Following a 2nd test run, I had more info for the post; also included some image samples.
