LEI Electronics 6 manual Custom Map File Size and Build Time Examples

Page 12

The amount of development in an area is something you can't control. For example, one square mile of city streets will make a larger file than one square mile of wilderness with a few hiking trails.

The amount of territory you include in a map is a major factor. The more square miles or acres you include, the bigger the file size.

So, what does this all mean in real estate terms? The following table shows a few examples of high- and medium-detail Custom Map File sizes, and how long it took the computer to build them. These examples were prepared on a Pentium III with 512 MB of memory, using simple rectangle map borders:
