Preface
Tile-based mapping systems have grown to become the dominant form of mapping
system with the rise of Web-based mapping tools. The origin of this book is a desire
to collect all our discoveries, techniques, and best practices for creating a tiled-
mapping system into one combined volume. The intent of this text is to provide a
comprehensive guide to the theory behind creating a tiled-map system as well as a
practical guide to create a concrete implementation.
