[postgis-users] shp2pgsql

[Mehmet Erkek]

Thanks Mark. I think you are right. Shp2pgsql did not change anything.
Please ignore my comment about it. We have found the problem. It looks
to be the simplification algorithm we use to display shapes in Google
maps. Sorry for keeping the list busy.

I think you need to clarify this with an example, since shp2pgsql 
doesn't alter the input geometries, it merely converts them to binary 
for storage within the database.
