So it seems the consensus is to stick with DG, despite its problems. When something better comes along, we start using that. Am I following correctly? Some of the old stuff, especially the 1987 map, concerned me.<br><br>

At least that was my assumption. Even if the DG imagery is off, it's<br>
more up-to-date than the 1987 map, so I moved the roads to align with<br>
the DG imagery. Much of the city (esp central city, north) has been<br>
realigned with the DG imagery. I also removed some streets traced<br>
from the map that were clearly wrong, and tagged some others with the<br>
fixme tag. Also, see the Street Names page for link to UN maps you<br>
can use for additional info.<br>
