No jumps, because the projections overlap:

proj1----------------------------------
                          --------------------------------proj2
view during scrolling:
t=0            XXXXXXXX
t=1                     XXXXXXXX (still on projection 1)
t=2                           XXXXXXXX (the map has switched to
                                       projection 2, but the view
                                       didn't have to be redrawn:
                                       client doesn't even notice)
t=3                                XXXXXXXXX
...
I don't yet oversee the consequences for the drawing of the map by the 
client - this grid is not static
