[OSM-dev] Tiles at home Strange sea rendering

[Brent Easton]

Hi 80n,

That will be a huge step in the right direction. 

Is there anyway we can centralise the distribution of that information to the clients? The flaw in this whole scheme is that we can keep the oceantiles db as up-to-date as we like, but there is no obligation on the 200+ clients out there to actually download and use the latest. So any changes we make could be blown away by some client with an obsolete oceantiles file.

Each level 12 tileset render session only needs one piece of information about 1 level 12 tile. Can we not have the oceantiles db as part of the main database somwhere with an API call to return that information? This would seem to be a be a very low overhead solution? 

Thoughts?
Brent.
