While not good for an import the data is useful for comparison. I see where I could pick up some road names and new subdivisions from Badita's data.

Would you please ask them to update Alex's work? https://api.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/lxbarth.647bc246/page.html?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoibHhiYXJ0aCIsImEiOiJFVXdYcUlvIn0.bbaHTEWlnAwGgyVwJngMdQ#12/33.7449/-112.1031 Regards, Greg
