Lol. The first is the ability to stay focused on the task at hand ...... Now, ...... umm... what was the second again?

So your investigation killed the magic card. Nice work Sherlock.

If you have the gmap folder loaded to your PC, you can load most of NA except for the tiles which i've selected below [i.e. the reverse]. That will get it down to just under 2 GiB and is the image i loaded to 3x0/6x0 to check it would work when i couldn't get the full NA to show. You actually only need to lose a minimum of 181,993,473 bytes [~173.56 MiB] for it to be 1 byte under 2 GiB:



From memory of previous map versions, contiguous US mainland only will be ~1.5 to 1.6GiB, US + MX will be ~1.8GiB and US + CA + AL + MX northern Border States will be just below 2GiB. Maybe you could get all contig. US + MX + CA Border States under 2GiB as well.
