How much resolution do you want to have and what for? If i think of an
high resolution map, I think of vectors not bit maps. Esp. in a high
resolution environment, you are much better and faster with vectors than
with bit maps.

If you imaging a integer (16 Bit signed) vector map with a resolution of
1 mm, you can describe a rectangular area of  65 by 65 meters. I thing
this is enough for most LegoRobots. With souch an aproach i've described
the outlines of my flat in under 2K of data.
