Current limitations

• The API is still moving, it may contain errors.

• Some providers can be slow or timeout. This is not an issue from MapView.

• If a tile is not correctly downloaded or missing from the provider, the error will be showed on the console, but nothing happen on the map itself. This can lead to a defect user experience.

• When leaving, concurrent.futures are joining all the threads created. It can stuck the application at a maximum time of 5 seconds (requests timeout). More if the network is unstable. There is no way to force it yet.

• The cache is not controlable, if the user move the map a lot, it can fill the disk easily. More control will be given later.
