pinch zooming doesn't alter tiles until the pinch is released

Open coredumperror opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

I can't be sure if this is a bug in the Drupal OpenLayers module, or in OpenLayers itself, but on iOS 8 on both my iPhone and iPad, pinch-zooming causes the map features to move with the pinch, but the map tiles don't change at all until the pinch is released. I'm using the normal Google map tileset.

As you can imagine, this is a horrible user experience, and I really need to find a solution. Anyone have any suggestions? I think this may be related to the "animated zoom" feature added in OpenLayers 2.13, since I just realized that it happens on desktop when zooming, too. But it doesn't look quite as bad when using OpenLayers 2.12.

Further testing shows that this isn't directly related to the animated zoom feature, as turning it off did not fix this problem.

However, this testing also showed me something else I'd really like to see fixed: during a mouse wheel zoom, the map features zoom in instantly, while the tiles take a fraction of a second to finish zooming. Every other map I've seen zooms the features at the same rate as the tiles, and everything appears seamless.

Is OpenLayers supposed to be zooming the features seamlessly, but it's misconfigured? Or can OpenLayers simply not do seamless zooming?

I confirm seeing the same problem - also using Drupal. Any news on this issue? (using OpenLayers 3)
