It will mostly be vector data, so while the object density in urban areas will be pretty high, it should be balanced out a bit by the (much larger) emptier rural areas. Point taken about the sheer impossibility of containing the whole data set in memory at once, though! | |

If you use 1 byte of information for each 20 square meters, the map would be 50 GB. So I don't think you are going to be able to fit this into memory. And if you want a lot data, as it looks like you do then you are going to be looking at incredibly huge maps. | |
