with a basic GIS (data viewing only) and have chosen QGIS for this. The
data held is for the entire county of Warwickshire, and one of the datasets
I need to put on there is MasterMap. Specifically the datasets I'm using
are:</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>Topographic line: 3.7 million features<br>Topographic Area: 1.3 million features<br>Cartographic Text: 250,000 features</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>Given the dataset size, obviously the first choice is a database, but as
these are stand-alone laptops that must have the simplest setup possible
(they're going to be used out in the field away from tech-support) I've
ruled that option out.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>I tried shapefile's but it turns out that spatial indexes in Shapefiles
are an ESRI-only thing, so the dataset takes literally minutes to load
per pan.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>Can anyone can suggest a format I could use that would allow fluid viewing
of this data in QGIS? I have access to FME, so can convert to pretty much
any format.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><br></font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>Thanks,<br>Jonathan</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><br><br>This transmission is intended for the named addressee(s) only and may contain
