There is a choice between geodetic and flat earth database coordinate systems. Larger databases will be geodetic. How many Levels of Detail (LOD’s) are used? The number and resolutions of the LOD’s are configurable. The standard MMRS configuration supports up to 9 LOD’s. It is not necessary to have a contiguous set of LOD’s; missing resolutions are texel-replicated What resolution of SAR is supported? Each texel at LOD 0 represents 8×8 feet in the default configuration. The MMRS and SERF will support finer resolutions, limited only by the availability of source data at those resolutions. Are there limits to database gaming area size? Gaming area is limited by available disk storage and for geodetic databases, by latitude (no higher than 80 degrees latitude). What are the disk storage requirements per square nautical mile? Storage size may vary as a function of feature density and active resolutions, but a typical average is approximately 10KB per square nautical mile. What if the custo
