We converted a shapefile to TinyGeo format. The resultant Tinygeo file has polygons with very poor shape. Is this what should be expected, or do we have a tolerlance set incorrectly?
If this is a tolerance issue, please tell me what the tolerances should be set to for street level mapping in meters?
Attached is an image should the shapefile before conversion and the tinygeo file after conversion.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

RED LINES are the shapefile / tinygeo polygons in the images
Note, Tinygeo reduced the 50 MBs parcel layer to 17 MBs. I also reduced a Contour layer from 336 MBs to 32 MBs. Therefore I see a lot of value in tinygeo when distributing data to clients.
Here is the SHAPEFILE image
