I think you mean “and compromise projections are displayed with two sample images” here?

So that it is useful and pretty instead of ugly and too blurry to be meaningful. Does the detail inconvenience you?

Yeah, but I can't find the crazy 1964105631895×1896598160246 databases in Geocart 3 at all.

It’s part of the install package for Personal and Professional editions.

I'm not familiar with your business model, so this is unclear.

What do you mean by "install package"? Does it mean the CD?

What do you mean by Personal editions? You mean the demo installers?

What do you mean by Professional editions? You mean the full versions?

(We do not ship on DVD anymore.)

Geocart has three product choices: Student, Personal, and Professional. The larger databases come with Personal and Professional editions. The Student edition does not. The demos do not.

Wouldn't such a crazy database need 1012389054 hard drives to fit? Here's zip file of Databases folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hy082m43w972e ... s.zip?dl=0

Those are the databases that ship with the minimal installer and demo version. The Personal and Professional editions come with additional installers as listed here:
