Huge SVG / KML files

adamdavi3s — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 11:24:29 GMT

Dear All,

Trying to work with some very large SVG / KML /SHP files to map some statistics from the ONS Data.

However we've tried all of the available extensions and they just don't seem to be able to handle it, talking 250mb svg files here.

Ideally we want to avoid breaking the files down so wondering if anyone has come across this issue before?

Hi, I know this is an old thread but did you ever manage to get it to work?

‌Yes in the end I just converted what I wanted into SQL and loaded from there instead.

i Think I may also have tweaked the plugin but it was some time ago now!

Apologies but I'm not sure I'm following your solution. I have a similar situation with a very large map (SVG format). The available free extension simply can't handle it. How has loading to SQL helped you?

Thanks

I‘D have to try and find my notes if I even have them any more, pretty sure I just pulled the data into a SQL geography format and then i might have reduced the number of co ordinates. Either way I got it working somehow!
