Include a "Zone Complete" icon.
Yeah. I had the same problem when I was doing 100%, those icons are really vital!
People who can’t tend to call the opponent troll, scream something utterly incomprehensible
and finally result to personal insults.
This is a very good idea. When I first started playing, I didn’t track my map completion at all. After a few maps done and a few more dabbled into, and not remembering which ones I finished, I realized the game didn’t display this info either. I then made some scribble notes, but they weren’t visually friendly for “information at a glance.”
In the end, I took a picture of the maps of Tyria from an interactive map site and saved it in my GW2 screenshots folder. Whenever I completed a map, I opened the image with Windows Paint and drew a big check mark on that zone. It works, but a zone complete icon would be very much preferred to the below:

I heartily endorse the OP’s suggestion. /signed
I see I was beat to this idea. Just would like to toss out that it should be a fairly discreet icon (and probably not at full zoomed out level. something closer to the faded area title). My two cents :P
We had this in GW1, we should have had this in GW2. Period.
Additionally, they need to put the name of each undiscovered zone over each zone when a player is fully zoomed out while in the map UI. There’s no reason at all why (at the very least) the name of every zone should be a mystery. It makes navigating extremely difficult. ESPECIALLY when you want to go to a specific zone you’ve never been to before.
I too would LOVE some sort of identifier saying I have completed a zone. PLEASE follow up on this one, Anet.

While I have been hoping for some way to bring up zone map information (skills/waypoints/etc progress) when not in the zone, this little addition sounds simpler and nearly as useful. I’m all for it.
+1 for this. I too would find this most useful.
It doesn’t even need to mark all zones. All you really need is a line of text under the Been There, Done That title progression that names one of the zones you don’t have complete. When you complete that zone, it changes to show the name of another incomplete zone. Repeat until you have 100%
This would be very useful, agreed.
I also find the demarcation between different zones very difficult to see on the map, if I’m missing a skill point or whatever I often can’t tell if it is in the next zone or not.
I also use an interactive map when I am stuck

but it would be great if we could have it in the game.
