OK. Ignoring that we're not meant to use Google data to amend OSM data, 
& there's a strong case to say that you are, I'll still not be using 
your diff map:

1. Confusing to use. That it flashes whenever a user pans or zooms is 
irritating and that you need to repeatedly swap between renderings makes 
it highly non user friendly.

2. To validate any differences, only to find they're repeatedly Google 
problems is not a great use of my time.

3. I don't think your correlation of road classifications is accurate 
enough.
