[mapguide-users] What is Tile Map?

[nelyass.heglig at gnpoc.com]

Many thanks for your reply

As I know from mapguide 6.5 tile maps means that the map image is
divided into tiles (a network gird like).
Which means when you zoom to an area the server sends you only the
viewed tiles in that area the same concept as in google earch.

As I remember the was utitlity in mapguide 6.5 called raster workshop
can divide raster format data into tiles. 

My question is the same concept applied in mapguide open source or not?

And does the server divide the map image into a grid of tiles or not?

Thanks
