[Opensim-dev] [SIMIAN MAPTILE] - generalize to a core function?

[Melanie]

Sorry if I was giving out wrong info. I just remembered that there
was some discussion about Simian maptiles and the changes needed to
support them.
What is the advantage over core maptiles as they are now? Core
maptiles are in the asset server and can be served from there.
