Claim:
A computer-implemented method of adjusting web content provided from a server to a client over a network based on target latency, the method comprising: determining, by one or more of a processor of a web content server and a processor of a requesting target client device in communication with the web content server, latency-related limitations of the requesting target client device; determining, by one or more of the web content server and the target client device, web content needs of the target client device based on a web content request from the target client device related to a set of image tiles associated with geographical information and characteristics of the target client device prior to the web content request; receiving, by the target client device, the set of image tiles associated with geographical information based on the determination of the latency-related limitations of the requesting target client device and the determination of web content needs of the requesting target client device; and adjusting a resolution of each image tile within the set of image tiles to be displayed at the target client device based on the determination of the latency-related limitations and the web content needs of the target client device, wherein the adjusting based on the determination of the latency-related limitations and the web content needs of the target client device includes adjusting the resolution of a first image tile based on a position in relation to a second image tile within a view window of the target client device.
