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:

The lessons in the Quick Reference section were written using

MapCreate's default settings, with high detail and all categories turned

on. If your first maps don't fit your MMC or SDC, refer to the online

Command Reference section for more detailed instructions on
