Greetings all, Not specifically a Mapinfo software question, but their may be a Mapinfo based solution. A quandry. How to conserve disk space (we are talking many many gigabytes)? I wish to store data in their observed geographical coordinates. Many users require data in projected (calculated) coordinates to enable area/distance calcs. We utilize a UTM projection for this and unfortunately, our area of interest straddles a UTM Zone boundary. Therefore this compounds the issue of diskspace, since if we wish to access data as a seamless dataset, then we have to maintain a full copy of data in both zones of two zones. The ideal situation would be to maintain the one dataset in its observed geographical coordinate system, and have a system in place to provide users with data in whatever projection they require, live & on-the-fly. I understand tha some software packages can re-project on the fly, but there would appear to be limitations when re-projecting larger datasets. An added complexity is that we also use imagery as a backdrop to vectors, and this imagery cannot be reprojected. How are other handling this? Please respond directly to my email address as I have just joined this list and my application may not have been processed as yet. I look forward to your responses. Jason.
