MapKit overlay tip


  • Subject: MapKit overlay tip

Just wanted to pass on this little pearl I just discovered in the case that it might help someone else.

I've got a bunch of images that I'm using as mapKit mapView overlays for iOS devices and of course was interested in having them be as small as possible and load as fast as possible.

So, I took all the PNGs and converted them to JPEGs at varying compression sizes and got them nice and small.

Map drawing time went up terribly and the images and maps started slowly chunking in on the devices.

Don't use JPEGs.  Use PNGs.  it's a world of difference in map drawing performance.

Hope this tip/warning helps someone.

Cheers,
- Alex
