Ah yesh, Larrywb57... would you believe the ole "won't shrink enough icon to fit the map" scheme? How about "the island is too small for the icon to fit properly" scheme?? But that's all it is. That is just "artwork" to signify that there is an airbase there on Roi-Namur, which were two separate islands just prior to WW2, and a "causeway" was started by the Japanese and finished by the Americans after their landings in 1944. The airfield took up most of the eastern island of Namur, with further support facilities on the western Roi island. See Roi-Namur Island on wikipedia for a little bit of background on it. I have slightly rotated and shrunk the icon just a pinch, and it does seem to fit a bit better, ready for the next release. That icon does not affect the operational capabilities of the AirField there though, so don't be seen there, else you'll have planes on you like stink...
