I need to deploy four 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:
Topographic line: 3.7 million features Topographic Area: 1.3 million features Cartographic Text: 250,000 features 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. 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. 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.
