MKMapKit Hexagon or Square Overlay



I want to make overlay with hexagon or squares over google map with MKMapKit. Not just one hexagon or square, i want to use google map like a tile based map with full overlay with hexagons in every 1km area.





I know app will crash if i do the overlay in one process so i want to do it only on the viewable portion of the screen but in that case i have difficulties to make the distance from the start point, its not getting on the right point or hexagons are not same size everywhere etc.





My question:





lets think i have 1 thousand hexagons in the viewable portion, so what is the best way to place them with a equal distance at once, how should my calculation ? if i scroll the map, how should i calculate the new start points.





or should i give up from hexagon and use another think ?





i hope i give you a clue for what i have try to do, any helps, any examples or any ideas are welcome.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
