However, what's the performance with big datasets?
For instance, I have a 2MM-records dataset which I can comfortably use in QGIS. BIME offers some great background maps, but I can imagine several huge bottlenecks from bandwidth (700mb files), browser limitations, etc.
How far can you pushed it?
- The PICK button was unresponsive until I F5ed
- I have no clue what measure vs attribute is about.
- Got logged out (session expired) twice.
- Tried BIME Desktop, got confused by the lack of a latitude/longitude value type (string or date only?)
- Couldn't upload a .raw file or a .txt file, had to rename to .tsv (but it still autodefaulted to CSV even though the extension was tvs)
- After I managed to change visualization type to "map", I was completely stuck. Again, where do I say "these are the coords, these are my user IDs, and these are the values I care about"?
It looks promising though, but being an early adopter surely sucks :(
