Truncation

There are many searches that have the ability to return much more data than is practical to download. For example, a search for all permits in Texas since 1970 might return 500,000 points. To limit the download time, the system cuts off the data at 250 points if you are searching only one layer or 125 per layer for multiple layers.

 

       

 

Below you will find ways to get around the 250 truncation limit:

Truncation Warning:

 

In rare cases when you decide to increase the truncation limit be careful because there are some serious undesirable side effects.  Because so many points can be retrieved, download times can become very large, perhaps a few minutes. Worse yet, the amount of data fed to the browser can be so large that everything you do will be very slow, including hovering on points, clicking on points, etc. Also, computers without enough memory may crash or appear crashed when generating a table view. This is mostly a problem on older, slower computers and compuers connected to the internet via a dial-up modem.
