46. Tiled maps (“slippy maps”)
Pre-render maps into image files
Approach used by Google, Microsoft, etc
Very high performance and scalability
Matches Smallworld styles and visibility exactly
Easy to integrate with modern web mapping APIs

49. Tile example
Google tile Electric data tile
x=37804&s=&y=48358&z=17 http://example.com/tiles/Electric/17_37804_4835

50. Tile example
Electric data tile: http://example.com/tiles/Electric/17_37804_48358.png
JavaScript
getTileUrl: function(ll, z) {
var X = ll.x % (1 << z); // wrap
return "http://example.com/tiles/Electric/" + z + "_" + X + "_" + ll.y + ".png";
}

51. Smallworld OpenStreetMap
Simple to overlay
tiles from many
different sources

52. Tiles usable in many
JavaScript libraries

53. Imbedded web map
