Where 25 MB matters

A 26,214,400-byte file, 25 MB in the binary units that operating systems and upload limits use. It is useful wherever a form, an API gateway, a storage quota or a mail server is configured with a limit of about this size.

All 25 MB sample files

Use this file for

  • Finding the first upload limit in a new stack
  • Testing map imports and layer rendering
  • Checking conversion between KML, GPX and GeoJSON

Testing notes for KML

  • KML can pull in remote content through network links and icon URLs. An importer should not fetch them blindly. The samples here refer to nothing outside the file.
  • Longitude comes first. Reading the pair the other way round moves every point to a different part of the world.
