Hi @lgirardi - thanks very much for this suggestion. For context, we are working on implementing the figure of merit in the Gonzalez et al. whitepaper ([https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.08670](https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.08670)) , and indeed we may require higher-resolution maps. We’ll let you know if we do need this as our implementation develops.

Thanks again!! – Will
