CORE DEFINITION

Divide a large map into standardized small tiles, load and display blocks on demand, achieving efficient rendering and scaling. Scaffolding role: chunked loading reduces cognitive load. When dealing with large-scale information, do not present everything at once, but load on demand, first give an overall overview, then gradually delve into details.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Chunked loading reduces cognitive load. When dealing with large-scale information, do not present everything at once, but load on demand, first give an overall overview, then gradually delve into details.

Anchor fast decisions

Tile maps divide a large map into small tiles according to zoom levels, load and cache on demand, enabling smooth rendering of large-scale maps. It is the engineering cornerstone of online maps.
