• The more map data that you install on the hard drive, the faster the program will run. It takes less time to read map data from the
hard drive than from the
• Graphics programs such as MapCreate can run slow on some computers with older processors or small amounts of memory. Running multiple applications at the same time can also consume computer resources and slow down response time. If computer processing speed is a problem, consider temporarily switching to the Medium Map Detail setting. (To do this, see View Map Display Options in the online Command Reference section.) Go ahead and create a map border, then remember to switch back to the High Map Detail Setting before creating your custom map file.
•It takes a lot of RAM (Random Access Memory) to create custom map files. If your system is low on RAM, then make several small custom map files and copy them one by one to the MMC card. (Note that MMC cards can hold a maximum of 30 different files. The total amount of information cannot exceed the MMC size capacity, no matter what the number of files is.
