The reasons for worrying about file size are quickly disappearing (or have already disappeared).

A 500Gb hard drive, which could store 50,000 10Mb maps, can now be purchased for under $100.

In June of 2006, 72% of households with internet access had broadband access. I couldn't find more recent data, but prior to 2006 that percentage had been going up at a rate of more than 10%/year. In all liklihood it is more than 90% now.

If it costs next to nothing to store them and very little time to download them (for > 90% of households) I don't see a reason not to allow a file size of 3-4Mb.
