I have to agree... most state road shields with the outline of the state have too much detail to be legible when they're small, which is why I almost always see them rendered as a circle/oval. I'd say that's pretty standard across the US. Maybe at the very highest zoom levels we could switch to the state-specific shields? -- Peter Budny \ Georgia Tech \ CS PhD student \ _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
