[Geomoose-users] GM 2.0- tiling performance in county projections / is it possible to add a custom coordinate to the status bar while using UTM?

[Mark Volz]

Hello,

 

Our users want to use county projections within our mapping application.  In
GM 1.6.1 We decided that there was only a minimal performance hit for the
LMIC WMS service(s) to reproject on the fly.  This is not true in GM 2.0.  GM
2.0 allows users the option of using a tile scheme on the WMS layers.  I was
impressed with the speed of the WMS services on the demo.  Recently I ported
the GM 2.0 demo over into county projections.  I noticed there is a huge
performance hit if tiling is turned on.

 

This left me with a couple options:  1)  I can leave the tiling system off,
and the WMS performance would be similar to that of a 1.6 app.  2) I can
abandon the county projection in favor of utm so that I can use tile cache
and hope that no one complains too much that the map is no longer in county
coordinates.

 

Another thought I had is if I decided to use UTM (to take advantage of
tiling) would it be possible for me to display the XY location in county
coordinates?  If so, does anyone know what file(s) would need to be modified
so that I can display county coordinates in the status bar?

 

Thanks
