At zoom levels above 128 (or is that 128 and above?) I switch from TIGER shapefiles to national atlas shapefiles - there's a lot less data, so quicker drawing. http://nationalatlas.gov/atlasftp.html for some reason I used roads from NOAA instead of the national atlas. Don't recall exactly why, bu

Is there a way to speed up the loading of maps? Specifically, when I use the line maps and dbfawk conversions it is wicked slow anytime I am zoomed out beyond 64. The further out, the slower it is. It is about intolerable beyond 128. So generally I keep it zoomed in to 64 or less. Often tha
