1.3.1. Map Response

Use the mobile map display below: The panning works just by clicking in the image and moving the mouse while the button is pressed. Adjust the the options (number of layers, tile level, choice of raster or vector) and experience how they influence the map response! The meaning of the options will be explained in the following units. In this example only panning is possible. All other buttons and functionalities like zooming or searching are disabled.

remark

As a starting point have a look at two scenarios. In the worst case scenario select Num Layer = 3 Tile Level = 1 and Vector data format. As every additional layer in a vector image contains new data this results in a large image file for the display and thus in a bad response while panning. In a normal case scenario choose Num Layer = 2 Tile Level = 3 and Raster data format. All the layers are combined to one raster image and the tiling splits the image file into smaller entities which can be downloaded simultaneously. This results in an acceptable map response while panning.

As seen in the example above there are different factors influencing the response of an online map, e.g. while panning or zooming. Influences due to different wireless network speeds are not covered in this example as they have already been discussed in the Unit Networks & Positioning.
