GameMaker ds_map_write() or ds_map_secure_save()

[JulianS]

I am creating a save system that also saves DS Maps, and I wonder which one is the better way to do things.
The DS Maps that I want to save have the potential to get very big and my guess is that ds_map_secure_save() is the better option, but I don't know as I have never written a save system which saves and loads DS Maps.

So what are your experiences with these methods and which one would you use?

ds_map_secure_save() is like ds_map_write() with extra steps. It just saves the file encoded in base64 which is easily decodable so I think it doesn't really matter which one you use
