It's not just "rendering" - it also affects how it appears on a GPS. Presumably more accurate circles mean more accurate distance calculations, too. These aren't terribly important considerations, but worth bearing in mind the next time we're having a "but all information is important! we must be as accurate as possible in all circumstances!" debate. > One question I do have though, is why put the roundabouts in, and not > split up the entry/exit ways? Individual lanes mapped as separate ways considered harmful.
