I see! Thanks, Daniel.
By the way, which one is better, performance-wise?
Creating a Tile Index of .TAB files, or creating a
seamless .TAB files?
It seems to me that creating a seamless .TAB files is
an easier approach, but does it suffer from slower map
browsing that way? And if it does, does the difference
noticeable enough?
I do not have any benchmark to prove it, but I would expect the
performance to be equivalent in both cases, unless you have a very large
number of files (i.e. several thousands) in the seamless dataset, in
which case a tileindex file in shape format pointing to TAB files may be
slightly faster than the seamless TAB dataset.
So if seamless tables are easy to generate for you then I see no reason
to not go that route.
