Program hangs up... or does not complete task in reasonable time

[RsH]

Hi Bob,

have you tried to close the map by pressing the small arrow to the left before doing updates on all positions? If not: does it help?

Yes, I've tried it both ways, with and without the map side open. It does not seem to help in any material fashion, but I am working with a file that covers 8 hours of driving time, at 3600 positions per hour, so it is a large file. Elevation shows progress as it scrolls through the file. Postal Address hung up after about 15,000 positions, and I had to save and then restart it from that point... Speed I finally did by chunk of the file.

The problem seems to be in the java program, which ends up growing and growing in memory use size, and does not seem to release memory at all. It just keeps grabbing more memory as it progresses through the file, if I watch it in the task manager.

I also am finding that I still need to have both postal address and location, as I find, as my postal addresses in the U.S. typically have the road, state and zip code, but do NOT have the location by town or city name at all! The location, on the other hand, has the town or city name, but not the state and not the zip code... so I need both to have the real information about where the place really is <grin>...
