Hi,

I downloaded RM demo and in the first project i face the following message:
"There is insufficient memory to generate map project EVIA at the specified size and resolution.Try generating a smaller map or using a higher grid-cell size."
The map size are11km (6.8miles) x 12.1km (7.6miles).
Before i purchase the RMpro edition please let me know the max map size that can create because i'm fishing in Mediteranean sea (Greece) and the sizes are larger.
Free disk space 79gb, Win7.

Thanks in advance

Map size is limited by memory, and whether you are running 32 or 64 bit Windows.
The map size you quoted is not particularly large - ReefMaster can comfortably generated maps in the 20km x 20km size range, but for maps as large as this 64 bit is required, along with a good amount of memory (e.g. 8GB +).

What are your system specifications?

Hi Vassilis,
The problem is that 32 bit Windows is unable to make use of your 8GB of RAM for use in a single application, because the addressable memory is limited by the size of the pointer (2^32 = 4GB addressable space). It's actually a little worse than that in practice.
I would suggest upgrading to a 64 bit Windows installation, which doesn't suffer from this limitation in any practical sense.

Unfortunately ReefMaster does not work under Linux.
