Style lags on iPhone4 Safari

[Boris Rarden]

Hi,

I'm applying styling to the map, and viewing the map inside Safari on iPhone4 (not simulator, real iphone).   I see for a split second the default map color when the map loads, as well as when I pan and new tiles are loaded. 

Here's a URL with the attached test file hosted:

I think this is a bug, and I don't know how to work around it.

Please note that this doesn't happen on the desktop or in the iPhone simulator.

The API underlays a static map, which is then hidden by 'proper'
tiles.

This might help

Ok, using  useStaticMap:false resolves the problem.

Do take note it is an undocumented option, it might disappear.
So far as I can see there is no formal enhancement request for it at

but Berry (bratliff) may know more
