Vast numbers. Look at this:

This is my own village. There are cross roads that aren't straight any 
more, roads that are bent, roads that don't curve true to life any more 
- take sharp bends where there was a smooth curve.

This (inevitably) was one of the first bits I surveyed and there may 
well be errors in what I did, but I do recognise several absurdities in 
what's been changed. And that's just in a small area.
