session maps blow unless one is lucky enough to have an epic session of exploration and the client doesn't mysteriously create a new session while you're in play

you can merge sessions, which i began doing with mapsessionmerge.exe
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8899&hilit=mapsessionmerge.exe&start=10#p191940
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8899&hilit=mapsessionmerge.exe&start=10#p194484

i assume you just throw up the directory structure on a webserver and you can run map.html just like you can locally
however with the zoom functionality unavailable it's a pain in the ass to use map merges of particular size

the next question is: what do you have envisioned, exactly?

Thank you for answer.
Of course, im already merge session maps together. And, of course, i already find, what without zooming this map is veeeeeery large and unusable.
i remember at world 3 (or 2 = ) good utility - havenmap, i wanna create somth like it at web for public using.
I look at code of "current session map" hh client tool and found, what map from tiles created with google map js libs. I with close reelations with js, but im little lazy. I hope someone at with forum can give my some clues how i can code blackjack and hookers at this map. May be we need tiles at different zoom level? i can produce it at server by php.
Also i want to collapse maps of different users, so i want to code a merger at server (better to do it at web, not at local comp and upload, i think). I read about map merger algorithms, and think i can write somthing like that at php.

So main questions - Does it a good idea? Can someone, who create it before write to me about tech details?

I got in here 2 days before W4 ended, so I'm not familiar with the backstory of havenmap.tk.
Is there any reason for serving session maps on a per-user basis? Is it that you plan on having password-protected or unique-randomly-generated-urls so that users who upload can specify access controls per map?
Otherwise I don't see a point in running anything but alg's supermap or the havenmap.dyndns compsities and supergrids.
