"I'm not sure what you mean by" practical" size for the brief map. Are you concerned about file size or do you want a brief map that has enough detail in it to be of practical use in finding the target."
I don't think I have file size concerns .. should I ?
As we have a magnifying feature and the ability to slide the brief map around, would not any 1:1 map / topography have maximum detail ?
what I'm trying to do, is determine the number of maps I will need to cover a very large area, fortunately, even the longest historical mission flights would be no more than 100 miles to targets or areas of action, typically less than 80 miles. So in other words, I'd rarely, if ever, need a map covering more than 160 miles edge to edge, or 80 miles into enemy territory from the ground war front line
