*** September-October Super Challenge: Mapping the Big Apple ***

[Gallifreyan]

Okay, I think that this is a stupid question, but is 2400x3600 px at 100 ppi a good size? I am not exactly sure what dpi is, but doesn't it have to do with the printing resolution?

The minimum for entries is 8.5" x 11" at 150ppi. That works out to 1275 x 1650. If you're above that you're fine. Might as well set your ppi at 150, though, since that's what the contest specifies. That would make your map 16" x 24"...plenty of room to play. Or you could go smaller if you're having performance issues.

Edit: And, don't stress it too much. As long as you've got *more* than you need you can always go down on the output...can't go up though.
