What do you mean by "distances between sites at different resolution maps"? 
The word "resolution" suggests that the N x N size of the matrix results 
from the discretization of a continuous function into N data points and the 
computation of N^2 distances between those data points. If that's the case, 
there's almost certainly a more compact representation of the distance 
function than the N^2 matrix. For example, you can probably represent those 
N data points with an expansion over  m << N continuous expansion 
functions, and the distance function with an expansion over the m x m 
tensor product of those function.
