I am moving into a new arena for applications, this is the pro arena, not game orientated. as such I found that the grid map is an excellent method to produce a scrolling menu grid. where you naturally slide the map around left/right/up etc. my question is this. is there a simple method to make it infinite in scrolling, what I mean by this is, when scrolling to the right, it comes back to the left, and creates a scrolling world like behaviour.
The only way I can think of at the moment is, the world is larger than the view, by a whole view and a half, when the scroll is placed out side the central window space, I place the view in the same position but on the opposite side. For example, Scroll down, when into the ovelap area, I then reset the view to the top, on the touch end event, creating a seemless scrolling world.
Any ideas or suggestions that may be better than this?

If you can scroll in all four directions (up/down/left/right) I think you should use a map that is four screen sizes placed like:
00
00
and then try to manipulate them the way you described.
This actually sounds very interesting, please share your finding and problems and keep us posted
