Is there a map limit?

[JeeF]

I was fooling around with KSP today and wanted to find out if the game would crash once I got to the Yottameters.

It didn't.

I kept going, the unit changed to X.

I kept going, the unit changed back to "m". I was hoping it wasn't "meters", but after "m" it became "K", so I'm guessing it's a full circle.

Is there a limit to the game engine?

Perhaps, I went to X, but it crashed once I tried to go farther.

@JeeF There is probably a limit - eventually the game will crash from a floating-point precision overflow (basically just having too many digits before the decimal point). There are also only a limited number of metric prefixes, but it seems like it just goes back to zero if the number gets that high - as you experienced (m = metres, K = kilometres).
