Default background is very slow. #106

I suggest we continue to use Open Street Map (or even blue marble) and only switch to the static one when there is no internet connection available.

I agree - if this is possible it'd be great. Is there any way of storing multiresolution maps in GeoServer - so that Level-of-detail increases when zooming? If so, we could maybe create a default background like that.

Yes, there is something called ImagePyramid but again I believe that a background served by GeoServer should be a possibility but not the default if we want to give a good first impression for people trying out the software.

Cool, ideally Risiko would default to the bundled background only if it can't connect. Do you think this is possible? The overall question is how Risiko reacts if the internet is down

uniomni commented 13 years ago

Cool we definitely want the first impression to be good and neither a slow backround without much resolution nor pink tiles in case of no connectivity are desirable.

Ideally Risiko would default to the bundled background only if it can't connect. Do you think this is possible? The overall question is how Risiko reacts if the internet is down as currently I think it'll show the pink tiles.

This was done before the demo, OSM is now default.
