Since I can't get the Maketiles exe to work, I use the mucg more friendly Multires. But a very fundamental (or maybe stupid) question:
What exactly is happening ? I can tell that it is making tiles. But what is the idea ? Is there different resolution of tiles so that they progressively download as the user watches ? Is this a design to get fast viewing happening online while the higher resolution tiles load in the background ?
There is a lot of information for this tool, but nowhere do I see it stated what this does in simple terms.
Can someone please explain ?
thanks
