Hi,

it seems, Safari on iOS 5 fails on adding large-dimension-images as ImageOverlays.
First I tried to add a huge one: 10240x10240 at a specified area of around 2x2 LatLon. Shouldn't be problem at all, should it?
In Chrome on Windows XP it works fine. But the Overlay is not displayed on my iPad running latest iOS5. Could that be a bug related to #176?
After reducing the dimensions of the image down to 1280x1280, iOS is displaying it, but now it is far too low quality for proper zooming.

Also on this: Would recommend to rather multiple ImageOverlays each of smaller sizes fitted together manually than one large Overlay? How about performance concerns on the iPad? I'll try by myself tomorrow, but just'd be interested in some other opinions.

Cheers,
Andreas
