MailerMap technical information
A workspace (for use in MapInfo Professional) 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.
MailerMap is suitable for scales on screen in the range 1:500,000 to 1:500. More layers become visible as you zoom in. The location of points uses a resolution of 1m.
The British National Grid co-ordinate system is used. The coastline fits closely with AdminMap or MagnaMap (derived from the Ordnance Survey Boundary-Line data set).
The storage space required is about 1,200MB or 1.2GB for full GB coverage in MapInfo TAB format.
Main formats available; MapInfo TAB, ESRI SHP, AutoCAD DXF, Illustrator EPS and others.
