libapache2-mod-tile - 0.8.0-1 main

mod_tile is a system to serve raster tiles for example to use within a
slippy map. It provides a dynamic combination of efficient caching and
on the fly rendering. Due to its dynamic rendering, only a small
fraction of overall tiles need to be kept on disk, reducing the
resources required. At the same time, its caching strategy allows for a
high performance serving and can support several thousand requests per
second.
.
mod_tile was originally written for serving the tiles of the main
OpenStreetMap map (Mapnik layer), but since is being used on a variety
of different servers providing maps on top of OpenStreetMap data.
.
This package contains the Apache module that receives map tiles requests
and satisfies them from tiles stored on disk, or queries a renderd
instance to create them.
