A Tile is a small map block (256×256 px) downloaded to compose the complete map you see on the screen.
When a user opens or moves around the map, the application will load multiple tiles depending on screen size, zoom level, and resolution.
Device / Case | Estimated Actual Tiles | Track-Asia Conversion |
---|---|---|
Mobile (small screen) | ~8 tiles / load | Counted as 10 tiles / load |
Desktop (1280×720) | ~15 tiles / load | Counted as 10 tiles / load |
Large screen / Deep zoom | ~20–25 tiles / load | Counted as 10 tiles / load |
- 100,000 users open the map once per month = 1,000,000 Map Loads.
- 10,000 users open the map 10 times per month = 1,000,000 Map Loads.
- According to Track-Asia’s rule (1 Map Load = 10 Tiles) → 1,000,000 Tiles per month ≈ 100,000 Map Loads.
