Map Editors Community WME Production Version Releases
1

Hi Everyone :wave:

We hope you’re all doing well.

We’ve just released a new version of WME, v2.272.

Below you can find a summary of the release.

New features/enhancements:

  1. Polygon Based events: This new ability will empower you to share your local knowledge about how events impact traffic, even if there aren’t any road closures. You’ll be able to outline the affected area directly on the map. Please share your feedback and read more here.

  2. House Numbers revamp: This improved design not only simplifies the current process but also paves the way for the upcoming feature: suggestions on house numbers, which will be rolling out later this year. Please share your feedback and read more here.

  3. School Zones & Scheduler: These long awaited features are designed to make roads near schools safer, while giving editors more control and flexibility over alert schedules. Together, these features encourage safer driving habits, extra caution, and heightened awareness of pedestrian activity near schools. Please share your feedback and read more here.

  4. Enhancements for status badges for Segment Suggestions and On Segment Suggestions:

  • “Lapsed” status was removed for both Segment Suggestions and On Segment Suggestions, such suggestions will be shown as “Open”.
  • Badges and map icons for Segment Suggestions were updated for statuses: “Not approved” and “Pending Google reply”.
  • “Rejected” badge for On Segment Suggestions was updated.

  1. We’ve added a fallback UI for the Issue Tracker and Events tabs in the sidebar to ensure a smoother user experience in case of errors.

  2. Added build start time to the Tile Build Status for better tracking and visibility of build progress.

  3. Added new services for Parking Lots: On site attendant, Covered, Park and Ride, Valet.

Bug fixes:

We released 3 bug fixes:

  1. Fixed an issue where long or composite house numbers were being truncated and only partially displayed in the UI.
  2. Enhanced the positioning of the Turn popup to ensure it no longer interferes with screen edges, improving visibility and usability.
  3. Fixed an issue where “DOES NOT MATCH SEARCH” was incorrectly displayed in the Issue Tracker PURs. The font is now aligned with other Flag reasons for consistency.

You can read more here.

We look forward to hearing your feedback! :upside_down_face:

Thank you,
Daria

Hey there!

I think there’s an issue with the house numbering. I’ve used the same browser before, and it worked without any problems. For me, adding house numbers is bind to a key. When you add a house number, either 1 or 4 numbers can be added smoothly, but then it seems to exit the house numbering mode, and it looks like it’s saved. After this, you need to click on the street again to be able to add house numbers. It’s like if it saves after every single house number you add.

edit: If you drag with mouse after adding HN not click it stays in HN edit mode, but if you click out like before it exits.

Hi @Daria_Staff,
I think the button to add house numbers doesn’t work, it lets me modify existing house numbers but I can’t add new house numbers

Hi @cukkini, yes, it works this way now. You can click ‘Add house numbers’ button again while the segment is selected and add additional house numbers if required - in such case segment selection will be preserved. Hope it will be useful.

Hi, can you please share the screenshot or video? Is the button is greyed out for you?

Thanks @Daria_Staff these detailed posts are always very useful.

But I want to pass on some frustration from a user caused by the 3 hour delay between WME updating and the release notes being posted.

The changes to House Number editing had a huge impact on them, and without knowing there was an intentional change to House Numbering editing they spent most of the three hours trying to work out what broke on their PC.

It would save a lot of frustration if these posts could come out faster, say within 15 minutes of the changes so editors can be informed of the changes and what is intentional change and what might be a separate PC issue.

Thank you for the feedback.

You are right, we experienced unexpected technical issues with some of the features, which delayed our announcement until we solved them.

Our apologies. Hopefully we won’t run into this scenario in the future.

Thanks @maiapas really appreciate keeping us informed. That would also explain why some new features took awhile for me to see.

Cleared cache and installed Firefox to try a different browser. I can edit and delete existing house numbers but I can’t add new ones.

Thanks for the improvement, After checking it seems that adding or editing HNs is working properly without any issues on my side. :+1:

How do service “covered” and Car park elevation “Street level covered” differ? Isn’t the info duplicated?

Editing HNs will enable “house numbers” layer. I am not sure if this WAD?
I prefer to keep that layer “off”.

Could the fallback message also contain a permalink to the current location so the user could resume after a refresh?

It seems that in the WME JavaScript SDK, the event “wme-editing-house-numbers” no longer works.

For example:

 const sdk = getWmeSdk({scriptId:'test', scriptName:'test})
 sdk.Events.on({
       eventName: "wme-editing-house-numbers",
       eventHandler: (isEditingHouseNumbers) => {
           console.log('Editing house numbers: ', isEditingHouseNumbers);
       }
   });

I would expect it to log to the console but it never does. Other events like “wme-feature-editor-opened” continue to work as expected.

The House Number layer needs to display at a zoom level lower than 19. It needs to at the very least be visible at 18 or better yet, 17.

Thank you for the improvements. My testing confirms that adding and editing HNs is now functioning as expected.

Hi, I believe ‘Covered’ means ‘indoor parking’.
