AQM tile size

Post by nicobar »

Hi,

When making AQM maps with MAPC2MAC or MoBAC, what is the suggested tile size? 1024x1024 ? Other sizes?
Tile compression, JPEG or GIF are both fine?
Thanks

Hi,
The most commonly used size is 256px, which I would personally recommend. Using bigger tiles will make them longer to load and won't create a nice and smooth display.
Concerning the format and compression, that's just a matter of image quality and map size. With JPG, a quality factor of 75-80% usually produce a nice and well compressed image.
However, when using MOBAC, I would suggest to keep the original image size and format in order to avoid the long tile conversion process. Most of the times, tiles from online sources are already optimized to have a nice quality and small size.
Hope it helps,
Best regards
