Yep, it all helps. Just trying to get an understanding of what our
options are. M<br>

<div>Thinking outside the box, as it were and forgive the pun,
this is a far stretch - I know google enterprise allows you to
upload data and feed it out as a wms (quite a new development -
you'd need to be an enterprise client). Possibly something like
geocommons / giscloud may allow you to upload data and do the
same.</div>

I believe our real stumbling block at the moment is
that we're using shared hosting. Typically,
running/installing geoserver & mapserver would
require our our own (virtual) server, right? <br>

<div>Well there we go then. As Phil also says,
mapserver is good too, although I have no
experience with it. Trouble with both is that
you need to have some control over the data.

Don't know a thing about it, yet. <br>

I'm not actually creating the tiles, someone
else is, using TileMill and then, yes pulling
in an XYZ Tile layer from MapBox.<br>

setup would be of interest. How do you
build your mapbox tiles? Do you have a WMs

mapbox much, and I presume you're pulling
them in as a Tile layer? Passing in x,y,z

<div> The problem with tiles in my
situation -- and someone jump in here if
this doesn't sound right -- is that
they'd cover the entire state of New
York from low to high zoom levels, like
10 to 17. We've done this just fine for
a small part of NYC using MapBox, but it
seems that to cover the entire state is
cost prohibitive because we'd require
such a huge amount of storage.<br>
<br>
Does that sound out of whack?<br>
<br>
The next strategy is to use tiles at low
zoom levels and then switch over to
loading points at the high levels.<br>
<br>
I'll mess around w/ the single tile idea
you mention.<br>

Thanks<br>

<pre>Hey,
So what's the problem with tiles? Server side stuff is your only choice really. Not going to load those points into a browser.
If its tiles you don't like you can always call the openlayers layer as a single tile? Slow down the rendering a bit but will just create the one image...

<pre>I have a situation where I'm going to have hundreds of thousands of points,

Tiles. These points are static, I do not need to interact with them, move
them around, etc. Any thoughts?
PS: On a separate note, I'm posting this from Nabble. I've been trying to
send messages to the list for a month and the don't seem to be coming
through. Maybe it's a subtle hint. In any case, if anyone has any ideas on
what might be going on there, please let me know.
Thanks!
