Use smaller tiles for the map #38

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Current map tiles are quite large, 256x256 I guess.
Let's make them smaller - 128x128.

That would have two benefits:
- faster responses when loading new regions.
- smaller lag on loading the image in memory. 256x256 image loading
produces noticable UI lag.

Loading a lot of tiles also adds overhead (a thread and a queue entry for each 
tile).
Also we depend on the prerendered tiles from OSM and these are 256x256. You can 
try
cloudmade small tiles to compare the effects.

You're also limited by the tiles that are available.
