Yep, it all helps. Just trying to get an understanding of what our
options are. M

Yes, it's a deployed thing. Although it does only have quite a
lightweight footprint.
Thinking outside the box, as it were and forgive the pun, this is a
far stretch - I know google enterprise allows you to upload data and
feed it out as a wms (quite a new development - you'd need to be an
enterprise client). Possibly something like geocommons / giscloud may
allow you to upload data and do the same.
Hope it helps..

No, we have control. The "other" person is just my co-worker.
I believe our real stumbling block at the moment is that we're
using shared hosting. Typically, running/installing geoserver &
mapserver would require our our own (virtual) server, right?

Well there we go then. As Phil also says, mapserver is good too,
although I have no experience with it. Trouble with both is that
you need to have some control over the data. (I.e load it into a
db).
From what you have written it seems that this may be your
stumbling block.

Hmmm... the plot thickens. Geoserver. Don't know a thing about
it, yet.
I'm not actually creating the tiles, someone else is, using
TileMill and then, yes pulling in an XYZ Tile layer from MapBox.

Ah ok. Some more information on your setup would be of
interest. How do you build your mapbox tiles? Do you have a WMs
server running? For my sins I haven't used mapbox much, and I
presume you're pulling them in as a Tile layer? Passing in
x,y,z params?
If I had these reqs I'd use geoserver in a heartbeat.

The problem with tiles in my situation -- and someone jump in
here if this doesn't sound right -- is that they'd cover the
entire state of New York from low to high zoom levels, like 10
to 17. We've done this just fine for a small part of NYC using
MapBox, but it seems that to cover the entire state is cost
prohibitive because we'd require such a huge amount of storage.
Does that sound out of whack?
The next strategy is to use tiles at low zoom levels and then
switch over to loading points at the high levels.
I'll mess around w/ the single tile idea you mention.
Thanks

Hey,
So what's the problem with tiles? Server side stuff is your only choice
really. Not going to load those points into a browser.
If its tiles you don't like you can always call the openlayers layer as a
single tile? Slow down the rendering a bit but will just create the one image...

I have a situation where I'm going to have hundreds of thousands of points,
and I'm wondering what the options are for displaying them other than using
Tiles. These points are static, I do not need to interact with them, move
them around, etc. Any thoughts?
PS: On a separate note, I'm posting this from Nabble. I've been trying to
send messages to the list for a month and the don't seem to be coming
through. Maybe it's a subtle hint. In any case, if anyone has any ideas on
what might be going on there, please let me know.
Thanks!
