With the international editor out of action, I decided to dust off the LMUR source and do some long overdue updates...

0.5 fixes a data retrieval glitch which exhibited itself in the northern reaches of the UK (and would most likely also appear in other parts of the world too), it moves the script info/activation checkbox up to the top of the livemap view, and, saving the best till last, it now features overview popups for the UR and problem markers.

Note that, unlike the popups in my UROverview script, these ones are (for the moment at least) just for information - there's no links to open WME at the UR/problem location etc.

Aiming to perfection?

I do not see the the overview popups for URs+MPs on INTL server - because of the shut down WME?

Never mind. The script uses a vertical yellow rectangle, sized approx. 70 x 100 km, as a looking glass for the markers. Is there any specific reason to make it vertical (if not already a square), like an API constraint? A horizontal orientation would suit more...

The Extended Tools for Papyrus and one more Timbones' script contain (or contained) code for maximizing the usable area by (at least) hiding the upper black Waze banner and navigation bar. Could you try to bind such change (hide the "body_bg.png", "content_wrapper"/"navigation" and "content_wrapper"/"navigation_bottom_wrapper" in order to vertically enlarge the LiveMap's "map_container" area) on the "Show URs/map checkbox problems" state?

No, the script has been working OK for me all throughout the shutdown. If the red/green markers have been placed on the livemap, then the script has all the information it needs to generate the popups, so there must be some other reason why they're not appearing. Do you see any errors in the javascript console?

When requesting the UR/problem data from the Waze server, the largest area you can ask for in a single request is 1 degree * 1 degree, and so this is what the script currently requests each time you move/zoom the map. The reason this 1*1 area appears to be rectangular rather than square is due to the projection method used to generate the live map - the further north or south you move from the equator, the more the projection vertically stretches the map. If you view the livemap near the equator, you should see the script bounding box appears to be a square, and as you then pan north or south, you'll see it slowly elongating into the portrait-oriented rectangle more familiar to users in non-equatorial regions...

One of the things I'll be looking into for future versions of the script is a more intelligent data request process, so that the script doesn't ask for more data than necessary if you're zoomed right into the map, and also so that it can request multiple blocks of data to cover more of the map when you're zoomed further out.

The Extended Tools for Papyrus and one more Timbones' script contain (or contained) code for maximizing the usable area by (at least) hiding the upper black Waze banner and navigation bar. Could you try to bind such change (hide the "body_bg.png", "content_wrapper"/"navigation" and "content_wrapper"/"navigation_bottom_wrapper" in order to vertically enlarge the LiveMap's "map_container" area) on the "Show URs/map checkbox problems" state?

Possibly...

I've restarted the browser some 20 minutes after posting that. Now I can correctly see the tooltip popups. Thus... no idea

0.6 resolves what I suspect was a long-standing problem which would incorrecly trigger the "unable to access..." handler if the server returned partial data for any other users in addition to the data expected for the logged-in user.

The LiveMap UR Layer overlay seems to break the functionality of the 'Get Directions' shortcut on the top left. Once it is enabled, clicking this link does nothing, where it would normally display a "From:" and "To:" text entry boxes to enter Navigation start and end points, in place of the normal "Search Address" textbox.
Clicking on livemap & setting a start end end still works and calculates the routes, but it also does not toggle the search textbox like it usually does.

Anyone else having this, or is it just me ?
