Hi Tim MapInfo native Tables have a 2 GB file size limit for the DAT and MAP files. If your data is split into several layers, or separate Countries you may not hit this limit.
However if you find you do hit the limit we have released a format that is similar to MapInfo TAB but the filesize limit is 16 Terrabytes rather than just 2 GB. Basically it uses 64 bit pointers instead of 32 bit pointers. At present we only have a translator ( free product ) from GML to this format, which we use to load full MasterMap coverage of Great Britain ( 68 GB in total ). However we are interested in looking at loading other large data sets. We could give you a free copy of MIMIC which allows the new 64 bit format to be viewed from within MapInfo Professional ( but not Map X at this time ). If any other listers are hitting the 2 GB limit we would be interested in loading your data into the new format. Please get in touch if this is of interest to you.
