Hi Qianglin,

What type of system and Coot version are you using? I've just tried opening 
EMD-7472 with Coot 0.8.9.1 on a 64-bit Linux system and it opens the whole map 
correctly as long as the machine has enough memory available. (If there's not 
enough memory, Coot doesn't load part of the map, it just crashes with a 
segmentation fault or a std::bad_alloc error.)

One thing you could try is to convert your map to an MTZ file. Coot loads them 
in quite different ways so there's a chance an MTZ would work when the 
real-space map doesn't. The MTZ file might also be smaller, if the resolution 
of your map is lower than the Nyquist frequency of the map's grid sampling. As 
an example, EMD-7472 claims a resolution of 4.2 A but has a pixel spacing of 
1.03 A. The map file is about 8 GB, but an MTZ calculated to 4.2 A resolution 
is only 1.3 GB.

You can use Refmac to convert maps to MTZ files using the keyword SFCALC, but 
you might find it more convenient to use the "MRC to MTZ" task in CCPEM 
(http://www.ccpem.ac.uk/download.php), which will set all the necessary 
arguments for you.

Best wishes,
Colin

I see what you mean - that is a large map. I guess that clipper (which is what 
Coot is using as the container for maps) is running out of indices for the grid 
points (or some such). It would (as far as I
understand) need a non-trivial infrastructure change to fix this problem.
