Nope, haven’t seen it (uhhhm, probably). The closest thing I’ve seen to something like that is only on my satellite view map. When it is refreshing, sometimes the leftmost column of map “tiles”, and topmost column of tiles doesn’t refresh for a minute, leaving a white strip across the top and/or left side of my maps for a few seconds (but they eventually refresh). You might see this when zooming out, or panning the mapview. The height/width of the strip (sometimes large, sometimes small) seems to vary based on the map zoom level / how google has carved up their satellite image data.
Perhaps on a slow cellular connection, the tiles timeout and are never sent, leaving a white strip? Or perhaps this is totally unrelated…
A couple questions might be:
- Which mapview does it occur on, just satellite? Does switching to the other views eliminate it?
- Does scrolling or zooming the map eliminate it, or cause it to occur?
Note1: All of my map “widths” are multiples of 4 (I’m old school like that). Perhaps there’s a clipping or buffer error for unusual widths?
Note2: I did notice some unwanted visual effects in my initial implementation of mapviews, when I tried re-using the same mapviews on different “screeens” by manipulating the mapviews size (width/height, xScale, yScale stuff). This ended up giving me stretched and scrunched looking maps, so I switched to using separate mapview objects for different screens. Lesson learned: Always create the mapview at the size it’s going to be displayed at, to avoid odd scaling effects.
Like I said, the mapviews look pretty solid to me (and I’m giving them a workout), not surprised you only heard of one other bug! [import]uid: 79933 topic_id: 30744 reply_id: 123329[/import]
