caught this one on eGeeks site. Read up on Google BigTable concept. Interesting now i have a better feel (and probably bragging rights) to explain why zooming in and out of Google maps (esp images) is so quick and fluid but not so when you scroll around to a different location.
From my limited knowledge I could conclude Google stores all the images from different level of a particular location in a tablet assuming users natural tendency to zoom in and out at the same location.
