Damn good work, that man. :mrgreen: I tried (& failed) to fix it myself - I’ll have to dig in and see what you did. :slight_smile:

If the quality of the aerials increases with the addition of Google Aerials, this script is only going to become more useful.

3

Oh, I just changed a line, after “// Apply the shift”, but spent like 2 hours creating my first CRX :lol:

The link at the Wiki page points to a closed part of the forum, so I created this topic :wink:

4

Could you update the wiki page?

5

I’ve updated the wiki, but I left that old link as well. Shall I remove it?

6

If it’s no longer relevant, it should be removed. Wiki history will still have it.

7

Do you guys have the same issue, when you pan the map it’s shifting back to (0,0)?

8

Yes, I’m afraid so. Didn’t see this happening before - maybe something minor has changed in WME?

I’m pretty sure that after you got it working, it was almost the opposite: changing the values had no effect until panning the map.

[EDIT] Ignore the above (for the moment). Just realised I had another aerial shifter script installed. That was definitely responsible for the map not shifting as I changed the values. :oops:

I’ll post again when I’ve done some more testing.

9

OK, definitely still reverting back to an un-shifted state after panning the map.

What I said above (not shifting when the values in the input boxes are changed) - not a real problem. It was caused by the other (non-working) script.

I do have a solution. Since I freely admit I only have a vague idea what I’m messing with, this could be elegant or it could be a major kludge. :lol:

I have added the following code to force a shift update after panning:

wazeMap.events.on({ moveend : update });

There’s probably a proper syntax to combine it with the “zoomend” event trigger, but I don’t know what it is. :oops:

10

Cool, thanks! Works for me! :wink:

I’ve updated the script.

Hi!
I got a PM today that the attached ZIP is not available for download anymore. I tried to download it myself and also got “The selected attachment does not exist anymore” message, so I had to reupload the attachment.

Anyone knows if Waze forum auto-deletes ZIPs after some time?

12

Nice tool to wish we could see older aerials…

13

Version 1.2.15 for WME beta 1.2-68 released. Please see my original post.

14

Plz remember to update http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php?title=Community_Plugins,_Extensions_and_Tools#Waze_Aerial_Shifter as necessary (date/version info, etc.)

15

Done.

Hey Alan, thanks for tidying up there! Looks much neater now! :wink:

16

Thanks and thanks! I felt a little consistency was needed. :slight_smile:

17

any thoughts on updating WAS to work with the new Google aerials?

18

I can offer some help. I can’t fix the script proper, but I have identified the changes necessary and you can patch your own script until the author can update the proper script.

You will need to locate the un-packaged script where it is stored on your computer. First, open your Chrome Extensions tab. Each extension tab has a long ID: for my Waze Aerial Shifter, that ID is mjbppgkbhhfenndnpmblmdkegklllppk.

You then need to locate the script. I found it at %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\mjbppgkbhhfenndnpmblmdkegklllppk\1.2.13_0 - on Windows, obviously! If you have a version other than XP, I’m not sure where it would be. It might be easier to search for a file containing the string “@name Waze Aerial Shifter” that appears in a similar location.

Once you’ve found the script, the change is relatively simple using a text editor such as Notepad. There are 2 instances of the string “OpenLayers.Layer.Bing_43” - change them both to “OpenLayers.Layer.Google_47”. Save the script & refresh your browser.

Hey, I’ve learnt some new tricks! :lol:

Please find v1.3 in my original post.

Things change rapidly: v1.3.1 updated to new WME beta path
