I hope the terribly slow map rendering is just a direct result of early release scaling problems. Because it's running unusably slow here.
Edit: I'd like to clarify, it is running in a usable, if laggy fashion, in general, but the main advantage of Google Maps to most competition IMO, is the blistering speed.
- tmcw 15y agoWe just saw a genuine torrent of traffic and are scaling up as I speak.
- alt_ 15y agoFor me (on an iPad), the problem isn't the loading speed, but the interface that blocks/loses the pinch state when rendering new layers. Zooming in/out stops working and you have to restart the pinching gesture to continue.
- andrewem 15y agoOn the plus side, the current slowness enabled me to see some interesting Cloudfront response headers. I see "X-Cache:Hit from cloudfront", "X-Cache:Miss from cloudfront", and "X-Cache:Error from cloudfront" in responses from various tile files. And I see that they're helpfully using 4 hostname aliases for map tile downloads, namely [a-d].tiles.mapbox.com, to increase parallel downloads.
- aaronpk 15y agoPersonally I find Google Maps to be quite slow, especially on mobile devices! Looking forward to comparing this one on mobile phones!
