MapLink Pro Studio System Requirements

In general, MapLink Pro Studio works best with lots of memory and lots of disk space. The more memory you have, the more you can assign to the vector and raster tiling caches and the faster it will be to create maps. Disk space requirements are mostly dependant upon your data – allow 5Gb for a typical MapLink installation not including data.

Although it will run on smaller machines, the recommended minimum reasonable specification is:

• Windows 10
• 8 Gb of memory
• 3 GHz processor.

A faster processor and more memory will allow large maps to be generated faster.

MapLink Pro introduced multi-threading for raster re-projection and pyramiding. Therefore a multi-core processor is ideal if you are processing a lot of raster images. See Multithreading Options

For extremely large raster/GeoTIFF images MapLink Pro Studio provides an option that splits the image into smaller, more manageable sized images. See Raster File Loading

With extremely large rasters and some vector datasets you may still need to ask your data supplier to split the data into smaller chunks.
