How long does this persist?

I'm mapping canals, which quite often are just a very long straigt line. Nodes 
are sometimes serveral screens apart in z17, therfore you see several requests 
within seconds. Yet most of these straigt parts are in rual areas, sometimes I 
just have one way (this single canal) on the screen.

It seems the excess detection process doesn't coop well with my mapping. So what 
do you suggest? Move slower or stop mapping? BTW whenever I hit this situation I 
save my data. Such a save could be used as a detection that I'm really use the 
data for mapping.
