GBPro500 technical information
A workspace (for use in MapInfo Professional GIS) or project file (for use in ESRI ArcView/GIS) opens all the layers and sets zoom layer thresholds that determine when the layers are visible.
Suitable for scales on screen in the range 1:50,000 to 1:400,000. More layers become visible as you zoom in.
GBPro500 contains fewer layers of information than GBPro200, but with no less accuracy. The location of features is accurate to within about 100m. This is within one pixel on screen at scales of up to 1:400,000.
The storage space required is about 270Mb for GB and Ireland coverage in MapInfo TAB format.
Main formats available: MapInfo TAB, ESRI SHP, AutoCAD DXF, Illustrator EPS and others.
