Thanks for taking a look. It makes sense that if the area is too large,
then you could lose the impact.

After playing around with it this week, one of the interesting things I've
noticed is that the original tiger data is bad as we all know, but some of
the new tiger is bad too!

Once a grid has been touched, if the tiger 2012 differs from our current
edits, will it show up as needing correcting? Or do you ignore roads that
have been touched recently?

Thanks again for a great tool.
