I hate to post such a vague message, but I have been unable to figure this out. On our development machines in the office, we don't have any of these issues.
We've installed our app on a couple laptops that we've used for demos. One of the laptops will have several gray tiles that will show up on parts of the google map display, but many of the tiles will show. But then when you would do a lot of panning and zooming, the entire app would just crash/disappear. We tried adding an overall try/catch (any exception) to see if we could get any information, but the catch was just never reached. The app would just disappear. At first we thought it was because of a limited internet connection, but then it happened on the same connection we use when developing and also the problems weren't present on another laptop on that same limited connection.
For a while it seemed that we only had the problem on the one laptop. Recently, another laptop (different model) started showing the same sorts of problems. Not with the gray tiles, but with the app just disappearing with a lot of panning and zooming. Again, the catch exception statement was never reached, it just blew up.
We've basically always been using the latest edition and the first time we noticed this was on the 24th or 25th of February. It happened again in preparing for a demo last week.
What else can I say? I haven't done anything to override any of the panning or zooming, I've just been using the built in functionality. I wish it would happen on our development machines. It would hopefully be easier to understand. Of course, having it only doing this when getting ready for demos is especially painful. I'm getting to where I'm nervous to demo the software because it's been unpredictable.
I assume the gray tiles are directly related to google maps. I've seen that when just using google maps in the browser on my home computer, but it's strange that this only happens on one machine.
Again, I hate to post such a vague message, but we really haven't been able to understand the cause.
