[OpenLayers-Users] Ka-Map layer issues

[Ehud Shabtai]

Hi All,

I've been playing with OpenLayers using a Ka-Map layer with some hard
coded scale values and I'm having some problems.

First, here's how I initialize the map:

map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', {controls: [], scales: [4000000,
2000000, 750000, 300000, 150000, 75000, 30000, 10000, 5000],
units:'degrees', maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(34,29,36.4,33.6),
maxResolution: "auto",});

then I just add the ka-map layer and some controls.

I'm using hard coded scales as I want to use ka-map's precache script
which generates all the required tiles of a map.

The problem is that OpenLayers does not always fetch the correct tile.
This is not consistent, but panning in the same scale sometimes works
fine and sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't I can see that OpenLayers
tries to fetch a tile which does not exists (the meta-tile exists,
however the tile part of the URL is incorrect).

This probably not enough information to trace the problem, but maybe
someone can help me track it down?

A second problem is that the Permalink control doesn't work. Actually
it seems to produce the correct URLs, however, OpenLayers does not
handle them correctly when I try to open a new map.

I'm using OpenLayers 2.0.

Thanks,
