Mozilla peeps, is it conceivable that this could eventually get into firefox, or is it not the right fit in some way.
There was a recent discussion about map rendering and I commented to "just convert to SVG and let the browser render it" to which someone said that's too slow, to which I said "so improve the browsers vector rendering" rather than do a high performance renderer just for map software.
- seanw444 4y agoWas this conversation about OsmAnd+ by chance? Because that could use something like this. Edit: glossed over the "browser" part. My bad.
- xxswagmasterxx 4y agoI wonder why their renderer is so slow. Organic Maps is super fast and smooth on my phone, though.
- nine_k 4y agoIs it rendering or the database access? I see no slowness in OSM+ rendering on Android once the data for an area is loaded, as you pan, zoom, etc. But the pause between opening a new location and having it rendered is quite noticeable.
- seanw444 4y agoIt was the rendering. I had read up on the related issue tickets, and the answer was that the vector rendering was both not optimized, and not cached in any way.
- Self-Perfection 4y agoJust five days ago OsmAnd 4.3 for Android with new faster rendering engine that uses OpenGL was released. https://osmand.net/blog/osmand-android-4-3-released/#new-faster-map-rendering-engine https://osmand.net/blog/osmand-android-4-3-released/#new-fas...
- seanw444 4y agoNo way! It is waaaay faster now. It was unbelievably unperformant before, but I just dealt with it because it was otherwise a pretty good map app, especially using OSM and no Google spyware.
