Greetings Everyone ![]()
We hope you’re all doing great.
We’ve just released a new version of WME v2.323 ![]()
Below you can find a summary of the release.
New features/enhancements:
[Update] We have now opened another exciting feature. Suggest an Edit on Segments: The ‘Suggest an Edit’ feature in WME has been expanded to support New Segments across all environments, this is an important step towards enabling everyone to contribute to map editing.
Please read the detailed feature description in the dedicated post. We encourage you to give it and try and share your feedback in the mentioned post.
1. Auto Join to Waze Chat Groups: To help new editors find their footing and connect with the incredible wealth of knowledge in our local communities, we’re introducing Auto Join:
Note: We’re rolling this feature out gradually: one Waze chat group will be linked to Auto Join this week (Argentina). Additional groups will be linked over the next few weeks. Local leaders will be notified beforehand.
The flow is simple:
- When a new editor saves their first map edit/edit suggestion, they’ll be automatically added to a local Waze chat group - only if the local leaders chose to link their Waze Chat group with this feature.
- The new editor will instantly get a pop-up explaining where they are, with simple one-tap options to stay and chat, enable notifications for the group (muted by default), or leave if they prefer.
- Note: the Turn on notifications will be unchecked by default.
Let us know your thoughts about this feature and any possible challenges new editors might face.
2. Performance: The team optimized the performance of the WME page by only loading parts of the sidebar when you click on them. This means the Editor starts quicker, consumes less resources, and interacts with the server less often. For example, clicking the “Select” tab is now much faster. Moving the map with the sidebar closed is also quicker. Also, some server requests (like for “major Traffic Events”) only happen now when users open the “MTE” tab, which should greatly reduce those requests.
3. Suggest an Edit on House Numbers: for enhanced comprehension and clarity, when suggesting House Number deletion, the HN chip will be highlighted in red and display a strikethrough on hover.
4. Suggest an Edit: the recenter button will be enabled when a suggestion includes only one object, such as a House Number or turns connected to a single node.
5. Alignment of Suggest an edit (SAE) and On Segment suggestions (OSS): We aligned the card style and added the Disable Street View and Show on Map buttons. If a suggestion contains more than two segments, it’s not possible to use these buttons, so they are displayed as disabled.
6. SDK improvements: please refer to the change log to check the SDK additions.
Bug fixes:
We released 11 bug fixes:
1. Issue card: fixed an issue where the side panel was not aligned with the top bar, causing a visual bug.
2. Events and closures:
- Updated the date format to dd-mm-yyyy on the closure card
- Added an additional button [copy to clipboard] to capture the whole event ID.
3. Junction Box: fixed an issue where enabling a junction far turn, its inner turns were not being enabled if they did not already exist and there was no warning pop-up.
4. Suggest an Edit:
- Fixed an issue where suggesting changes on U-turns would show the previous status as Unknown;
- Solved an issue where the Delete button was active when selecting nodes whose deletion was not allowed;
- Addressed an issue where the Suggest an Edit banner was missing in the instruction pop-up.
5. Map problems: resolved an issue where the tooltip for Map Problems was showing an incorrect age category. A 13-day-old MP was incorrectly labeled as “15 days or more” (high severity) instead of “6-14 days” (medium severity).
6. Turns: fixed an issue where viewing "difficult turn” times would disable the “difficult turn”
7. Search: addressed an issue where hitting “Enter” would fail to show results and locate the address
*Please note: when you enter the address you want to locate (e.g. Alley 10, Brooklyn Park, Maryland), you won’t be navigated to the address straight away, but a list of results will appear; another “Enter” will locate the place.
8. Turn guidance: Rectified an issue where adding a turn instruction to a segment with No address would trigger Suggest an Edit mode regardless of the required permissions - subsequently this suggestion could not be accepted.
We look forward to receiving your feedback! ![]()
