The ultimate limit on Poser is somewhere around 3000 Poser Units,
which is 24000 feet or about 4 miles.
This seems to vary some with computer and setup. When you take an object
out to that distance, even with the Posing Camera tied firmly to it, everything
starts to get weird and wiggly.
You should be able to do quite a bit of driving within that range.
The real problem with big scenes (for me anyway) is that the cameras
are hard to control and hard to follow the figures. When you zoom out
far enough to see the big picture, the trackball controls are very tricky.
Here's a little script that might help: it takes the location of the Posing Cam
and generates a new Dolly Cam at the same location. This allows you to
keep a Posing Cam on the figure for localization, and then spawn a fixed
cam near the current location.
