This new viewer is very nice, but there are some issues.

1. When I recenter the map by double-clicking, the next zoom moves 
to a different center point.

2. It is very slow.  Aren't tiles cached on the server?  The 
zooming in and out seems to result in fixed levels of scale, e.g. 
0.703125, 0.17578125, 0.0439453125, 0.010986328125, 
0.00274658203125, 0.0006866455078125.  But I can also set (in the 
URL) any arbitrary level of scale (e.g. 0.01000, 0.01001) and zoom 
in and out from there, resulting in larger or smaller rounding 
errors.  If tiles are cached at every arbitrary scaling level, 
there would be no end to the storage need.
