Hello,

Ross i am thinking in your super-tile extended map. i am donne exact
this for my last overview code.


The the twisted torus maps tiles this way

----+---+---+-
    |       |
    |       |

i use a special function (near_orbit() ) to create a super-tile map.(the
overview store one) then i show only the needed part to make the
overview.
----+---+---+-
    |  Far  |
    |  Orbit|
+---+---+---+-
|  Near |  N.O.
|  Orbit|
----+---+---+-
N.O | Real  | N.O.
    |  Map  |
+---+---+---+-
|  N.O  | N.O
|       |
+-------+----

super-tile maps was (for the simplest topos only the  half most near
part of the orbit is needed, nearobit function only return the half part
of the orbit)

This is a client side feature. Server not need it at all.

For the server side the wraps topological extensions is ok as is. For
the client we can think to explore this idea for the tildables
topologies.
