    Hi all,

    I’ve noticed that some stations get repositioned by a few blocks as the system grows, while the station ID remains the same.

    For my app, I need to be able to detect these changes and potentially send a notification. But there doesn’t seem to be any unique field that identifies repositioning.

    Has anyone found a good way to track those changes? Two possibilities:

    1) Look for a name change, 14th & Upshur St NW
    2) Look for a lat/lon change, 38.942016-77.032652

    Any ideas for which one of these works better, or if there’s another way to track moves?
