Creating Real “Multi”-Layer Maps

20 October 2008 | Blogroll,flex,maptech,zoomify | Tags: , , , , ,

Doing another viewer for a 200+ maps project, i discovered that combining overview and detail maps in the same view, rendered the system unusable with only a few layers.

Naturally i did some optimizations on the layer drawing code. This resulted in a dramatical performance improvement when combining large overview maps with detail maps in the same view.

No more performance penalty. Why not show all of your data at once. ;-)

Please see the multi-layer demo showing ~140 maps (Oct 31st, 2008).

Every layers visibility and alpha can be controlled. Arrange depth order with drag and drop.
