[Mapbuilder-users] Re: [Mapbuilder-devel] FW: [GD Issue #1042] Demis WMS service

[Bart A. \(Demis\) <Ba...@de...>]

Hi Pat,

There were two things not being appreciated. ;-)

1. Requesting each layer separately most of the time resulted in a dozen 
requests, half of which were empty images because of the scale range some 
feature just don't display. The new setup will reduce this to just a few, 
grouped requiest that waste less bandwith.

2. Hillshading, this needs to be in a single request together with 
countries, topography and other layers, or the hillshading will be applied 
to a white background, which looks completely weird.

So the new setup wil work more efficient and look better.

Good luck to you all,

Bart Adriaanse
Demis bv

Mike,

Could you tell use what was causing the problem?  We certainly do not want
to mess up Demis.  They are good people!  We love their map and our
customers too!

In some cases, wouldn't it even be more effective for our demos to use one
layer with all the features included that four or five layers which cause a
round trip to the server every time?
Thanks.

Hi Bart!

Pat.
