Compiled app is too big with geobasemap('satellite') and I dont need all world

Hi community,

I'm developing an application in MATLAB that uses geoscatter and geobasemap('satellite') to display satellite imagery. It works fine, but the size of the compiled app is quite large and it wont start the app in a shortly time. Since I only need to display a relatively small area (around 15 km radius), I'm wondering:

• Is there a way to reduce the compiled app size by limiting the satellite map to a smaller region?
• Can I preload or cache only the specific area I need with the 25 zoom that uses the geoscatter, instead of including full basemap data?

Any suggestions or workarounds to keep the app lightweight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Perhaps <the Answer> to previous Q? about loading custom basemaps in compiled apps will help.

Compiled apps are notoriously slow to load so I suspect while it may help just a tiny bit in displaying the basemap that it won't make any noticeable difference in the load time--you can see after you recompile, but the executable is going to be virtually identical in size either way.
