transitionEffect:resize and tile animation can be together.

transitionEffect:resize scales the "old" images while new ones are loading.

The tile animation stuff is a fade-in effect when the images are displayed.

In 2.11 and 2.10 (and maybe before) you can have continuous zooming on
non-tiled layers. With 2.12 any layer inheriting from Layer.Grid is
supported.

Bing is supported (Bing is a subclass of Grid). Google is not.

Look at the cache-read and cache-write examples. Search "storage" on <
