stand-alone laptops 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><br>

<font face="Arial" size="3">Topographic line: 3.7 million features</font><br>
<font face="Arial" size="3">Topographic Area: 1.3 million features</font><br>

<font face="Arial" size="3">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>.</blockquote>

Hello!<br>
<br>
No, a database could well be a possibility :-) <br>
Spatialite, which would have the advantage that you have just one
file for the data, and additionally the advantages of a database
concerning other (attribute) data...queries, views etc. <br>
