[Geomoose-users] TMS layers in GeoMoose 2.2

[Jim Klassen]

Are you using tiled="true" or tiled="false" with WMS?  Try the other option.

Those timings don't make any sense.  Both MapCache demo and GeoMoose are using OpenLayers for the actual map.  Can you look at the image requests and see if there is anything odd about the GeoMoose calls?

My guess is the pink tiles in GeoMoose are related to timeouts on the server.  Did you request too many tiles at once.  This can easily happen if your cache isn't seeded or you zoomed while it was still generating tiles.  This effect can be amplified by the MapCache meta-tile size.

You should be able to do much better than 800ms with MapServer and GeoTIFFs, especially over a county sized area.

I know when I was trying out different TMS parameters in 2.4 that I needed to create a custom layer type to deal with it.  For more standard TMS layers, I used the "xyz" type in 2.4.

GeoMoose 2.6 (along with the newer OpenLayers version) at least has the potential to make non-standard TMS configurations work from the mapbook.  (Although I suspect the code for the TMS map source will need to be extended… it will at least be possible to do this in a sane manner).

I suspect it misses the biggest reason of having tiles in the first place… the fact that they can be cached using standard HTTP caches and CDNs that aren't geo-spatially aware.  Tiles aren't so much for your server as they are for the network.  Also, make sure you have HTTP1.1 Keep-Alives active on your web servers.  Assuming that your data and map files are organized so that MapServer can operate efficiently, without Keep-Alives, the extra network overhead from the many requests for tiles will overwhelm any speedup from having everything cached.
