Yes, it's a deployed thing. Although it does only have quite a lightweight footprint. <div><br></div><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).

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?

<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. (I.e load it
into a db). </div>

Hmmm... the plot thickens. Geoserver. Don't know a thing about
it, yet. <br>
<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>

<div>Ah ok. Some more information on your setup would be of
interest. How do you build your mapbox tiles? Do you have
a WMs server running? For my sins I haven't used mapbox
much, and I presume you're pulling them in as a Tile
layer? Passing in x,y,z params? </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>
<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,
and I'm wondering what the options are for displaying them other than using
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!
