Zoomable Geography

An example of d3.behavior.zoom and d3.geo.path. By modifying the transform, the browser can rapidly redraw geographic features while panning and zooming, without the overhead of reprojection. This technique can be extended by combining with d3.geo.tile.

I combined this example with raster tiles, also using https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/5342063 as a blueprint. There is a small scaling problem when tile zoom levels change, but that could be caused by the rasterizer.
