Hi Everyone :wave:

We hope you’re all doing well.

We’ve released a new WME prod v2.208

Below you can find a summary of the release.

Known issues:

  • Venues: Entry points names randomly disappear and cannot be saved.
    New features/enhancements:

  1. Permanent Hazards, one of the longest community-requested features in Waze history, is now open for you. It provides the ability to add alerts to the map, giving drivers a heads up to navigate more safely than ever. Read more information about it in this Forum post.

  2. Issue tracker - Map Problems: Update the issue type title on the card to align with the new issue types.

  3. Section title: Scripts tab alert and added an explanation text.

  4. Additional UI changes added to WME tabs in order make the interface consistent.

  5. Snap avoidance for segments with Closures.

  6. Online editors: updated the status icon.

Bug fixes:

We’ve released 10 bug fixes.

  1. Street View handle drag doesn’t work smoothly - fixed.
  2. Cannot select segments at certain zoom levels - fixed.
  3. Turn arrows on Junction Boxes still appear slanted - fixed.
  4. Only able to add one path per save - fixed.
  5. Issues Tracker: ‘Search this area’ doesn’t work properly - fixed.
  6. Issues Thacker: It is possible to disable all issue types in filter - fixed
  7. Parking lots: List of Prices not sorted logically - fixed.
  8. Closure status: make sure finished closures don’t block segment deletion - fixed.
  9. WME Login: “User is not login (code:100)” error snackbar is shown after resizing the window - fixed.
  10. WME Login: Update animation to play only once, without looping - fixed.

The WME still has many problems, moving around on the map when releasing the mouse button the map returns to the previous point or moves randomly, also the movement is not smooth it moves jerkily, also after some changes it becomes very slow and unusable and I have to reload the page,

No matter how hard I try, I still can’t duplicate this. I am not sure what could be going on for you

This evening the search window seems to be missing from the top bar. This is on a Mac with Chrome incognito, no extensions/ scripts.(unavailable attachment: Screenshot 2024-02-12 at 6.47.11 PM.png)

Did you click on the magnifying glass? When the top bar does not have any words, that is usually because there is not enough space to display them all, so it changes to images only.

I did after the post and the search bar appeared.

The questions for the developers-
Should I have to click the magnifying glass when there is 550px between the the ‘r’ in Waze Map Editor and the magnifying glass? That’s a ton of empty space that the search bar could use.

Why did it happen to me tonight for the first time ever? I’ve been using the same computer for years and this has never happened. It didn’t even start right after the most recent WME release, this morning as I have been in WME several times today and using the search bar. I really shouldn’t have to click the magnifying glass when there is all that space for a search bar.

Hi m4rc072,

This seems to be a performance issue, which complicated to track / reproduce. :roll:

Could you please provide information about your PC/laptop and the browser you are using?

Thanks in advance,
Nataliia

Hi ojlaw,

Thank you for the report. We will review this behaviour with the team.

I feel the Permanent Hazards button should show a tooltip like Area if you’re not the right level to be able to edit it otherwise editors may think it’s an error that it’s greyed out. Something like “Permanent Hazards are currently set to L4+ in your country”.

Still having saving issues with house numbers. If a house number entry point is changed to a different segment than the one it automatically gets locked on to the following pops up when saving. “Error saving, please try again later”.

Example here
Try and move the entry point for number 16 from the segment directly below to the segment to the left as show in the picture.

Hi Ben / maporaptor,

Thank you for sharing this idea. I’ll communicate it to the team.

Hi Lacmacca,

I 'm sorry to say that the problem is still not fixed. We’ll let you know if there are any updates

@Bedo advised me to clear the site cache and reload the page it only works for a few minutes, after a few edits the memory occupied by the site exceeds one gigabyte and slows everything down considerably.
If I open other tabs with other sites everything works normally, it’s only the WME that is slowed down.
my spec:
Intel 12 Processore N95 (4C/4T, until 2.9Ghz), 16G DDR4 500G PCIe SSD W11 Pro
1 GB fiber network
Chrome or Edge latest build
Wme or WME beta.
Other editors I find have the same problem.

A bug I’ve been encountering since the latest WME update: when editing Turn Guidance, changing one thing in a row, like a route number or a text box, causes the preview to mistakenly copy that change to every box in that row.

But I notice that when I click Save afterwards, everything is fine.

Here is a screen recording demonstrating it: https://i.imgur.com/FDfORbR.mp4

Hi Nataliia,

I encounter the same kind of performance issues as described by m4rc072.
I’m used to end and start again Chrome completely say each 15 minutes of editing.
Starting a clean Chrome session with only WME active, within 15 minutes the internal memomry usage raises above 2,5 GB.

Intel(R) Core™ i5-10400 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz
8 GB internal memory
Windows 11 Pro 23H2
Chrome latest version
Connection 1000/1000 (Mbps)

Best regards,
Dirk

Hi Numbermaniac,

Thank you for the report. Can you please add the link to the segment, where you have been adding changes?

Hi Dirk,

I want to ask you to record a video when you face the issue with the WME performance again.

Thank you in advance!
