[mapserver-users] MapCache Larger tiles, reduce number of files

[Jean-Philippe Chenel]

Hi,

With MapCache, I want to generate the tiles that will be copied to a mobile device, on a viewer created with OpenLayers.

When generating a large extent, with multiple levels of zoom, the files count is really big, so I want to reduce the number of files by increasing the tile size. I've made a test with tiles 512x512, but I've realized that the resolution must be changed when changing tiles size. So, the tiles are bigger, but changing the resolution make generating the same number of files.

I'm open for workaround and other tricks.

mapcache.xml

<grid name="GoogleMaps512">
<metadata>
<title>GoogleMaps512</title>
</metadata>
<extent>-20037508.3427892480 -20037508.3427892480 20037508.3427892480 20037508.3427892480</extent>
