Best Practices when Rendering Thumbnail Images from Geometry

Rendering Thumbnail images from geometry for a discovery location can be very time-consuming, but there are several steps you can take to help speed up the process.

1. Use a Cached Basemap - when the Basemap is already stored locally, the process doesn't need to wait for the map to be dowloaded
2. Modify the Voyager.vmoptions file to store temp files on your local disk (read/write speeds are considerably faster when these files are local to the Voyager instance)  
3. For example, you might edit the Directories section file to look like this:

   # Directories
   -Ddata.dir=../data
   -Dtemp.dir=c:/temp
