It is to scale. Perspective works differently on map markers - they appear the same size, no matter how far away they are. A bit like Mr. Tur Tur, the illusionary giant from Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver :)
And what's with the pointy end always being down, no matter which way you're facing? --starbird 14:19, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
