Hello
I am wondering if your team has thought about simplifying the GOES 16 loops. If the program only had to load your "view area" then it would be faster.
Right now, it appears to be loading all of your specified regions. What if we wanted to zoom into an area (smaller area than your preset zones) and the only frames that loaded would be the ones within our selected zone.
Would it not load faster and be a bit less stress on the computer?
The code is already optimized to only load tiles within your view. I can show this through a video if you'd like.
We're putting a lot of effort into optimizations and improvements. You should have noticed some of these over the last couple of days. Because Maps is browser-based, it doesn't follow the traditional rules of software development on an Operating System. This is because software from scratch can exceed boundaries that are in place in browsers to prevent websites from over utilizing your system.For instance, Maps can only make 6 simultaneous requests per subdomain. This means that tiles need to be loaded from 11 subdomains (11 * 6 = 66) to be able to load a generous number of
For instance, Maps can only make 6 simultaneous requests per subdomain. This means that tiles need to be loaded from 11 subdomains (11 * 6 = 66) to be able to load a generous number of tiles simultaneously. We had previously used 6 subdomains (6 * 6 = 36) until yesterday when it was increased to 11.
GOES-16 data is by far the largest dataset we offer. This by itself means that it's going to take longer to load. No other provider offers this data in a zoomable format. CoD offers static images, but that is not comparable to being able to select your own layers and area.
Yes. It is nice to have. No doubt about it! I did not realize you already had it set up to only load what we zoom into. If I understood correctly.
It will be interesting over the coming years to see how all of the GOES 16 data is handled. LOT of files!!
Also, don't take these comments as complaints. I signed up for the maps just to help test it on different computers and give feedback.
When I zoom in on a small area of the map and then zoom out, the program is still loading everything else around me.
I guess what I meant was that it might make everything run faster if it did not load every single frame across an entire area. Rather, the system would have the option to only load what I have zoomed in on.
The system would then disregard everything outside of the area not zoomed in on.
I don't think I worded it correctly earlier. From what you said, it sounded like it already does that. It does not, however, do that.
Just a thought. Loading only what we want to view.
