Well, I think it still has questionable merit here.  Let us say we 
limit application to only I-5, I-10 and I-15.  Given the terrain we 
have in the area, we have multiple digis that see pieces of all three 
interstates, yet no one digi see all portions of any one of them .  How 
do you allocate a particular digi to a particular interstate with 
##LINKn-n?
