A quick update
A brief update on the mapping
General Programming map
Hi all,
I've been testing ways to make the maps load quicker and run more efficiently. One method I've been experimenting with is increasing the gamma of the maps as a form of compression. This means that for a 6, 7, or 8-sided shape, it will render fewer sides (say 3 or 4) when you zoom out, partially preserving the shape. When you zoom in, it shows the full extent of the building. This should allow the maps to load even on a cheap phone with poor Wi-Fi, even when rendering millions of buildings zoomed out.
Enjoy the maps!
