[OpenLayers-Users] wms untiled 'busy loading' message or image

[Erik Uzureau]

Good answer Tim.

Does that make sense, Trond?


If you set the buffer to 0, then OL wont pre-load any tiles that are
outside the bounds of the viewport of the map.... therefore, if you
set a tile size that is bigger than the viewport, you will always only
be loading one tile... and since you're still in normal gridded mode,
you will be snapping to grid and benefit from cacheing.
