The files aren't additive, but they overlap; I think the best bet is
to have both loaded, but make sure the new one is being used if the
HIT is located within it (uncheck the box for the first file).


Are you SURE the files overlap?

Here is the KML outlining updated Steve Fossett search areas in red.

Notice the two updated Steve Fossett search areas do NOT overlap.

The files I was referring to were the GeoEye imagery you get by following
the kml link in the message that started this thread, and the Digital Globe
imagery you get by following the kml link on the Mechanical Turk webpage.
The GeoEye imagery is the dark green area, which overlaps the western search
area outlined in red, and the Digital Globe imagery is the imagery within
the western search area; this was the imagery I was talking about when I
said they overlap. I'm not sure what's going on with the eastern search
area outlined in red; it doesn't seem to be part of the Mechanical Turk
search effort, or if it is they need to change there kml link to include
it's imagery!
