Im looking for advice on the 'best practice' way to implement clickable 'pseudo markers' in a custom tile layer, ala the method being used in the Panoramio & Wikipedia layers...
I found the following example: http://www.usnaviguide.com/ws-2008-02/demotilecookies.htm but it apparently involves caching & cookies for data storage & retrieval on the client. It also seems to rely on constant 'mousemove' listening in order to detect whether the cursor is in the proximity of a 'pseudo-marker'. Im not sure this is the best way to go...seems suspicious... Is the method being used in that example basically the same as that being used in the existing public layers (panoramio/wiki)? If not, what's the best, most-efficient way to implement the clickable regions on top of a custom tile layer? Obviously, I'd like to avoid the overhead of creating a lot of DOM objects (as in when creating tons of gmarkers)... This is why I opted for the gtile layer route; I just don't know how to setup the clickable hotspots on my tile layer. I remember seeing other messages regarding this issue in the past, and I searched the archives, but didn't find anything; I guess My search terms were inadequate, so I apologize if this has already been answered before.
