[OpenLayers-Users] Look who's using OpenLayers....

[Pierre GIRAUD]

Hum, I disagree with you.
The markers info is loaded once, and you can then navigate the map
easily without having to load anything but the baseLayer tiles.
With a raster layer for the pushpins, you would have to load the tiles
while navigating the map.
So I think that with their approach they save bandwidth, and they
increase usability for the final user.
