I still cant get it to scan an area. Keeps telling me to select an area. Even though I have everything selected. http://prntscr.com/bv91jr

You need to click the “Add” link just below the named area text box. Then, you’ll have an area you can select with a radio button to scan.

I have tried that and everytime I get you must “You must drawn an Area”

You do have to draw an area. Have you tried this:

Define Area
An area that you wish to scan is created by “drawing” an area place/venue. The area can be as small or as large as you wish - some people have created one as large as an entire state. Do NOT save the area. Instead, give the area a name in the “Add Custom Area” section and click the save link. Should things work successfully you should see the area listed in the pane.

I cant figure out how to draw an area?

You are making an area place. That little marker in the toolbar at the top. Same one as making a point place just select area. And don’t save it.

I have noticed that roads that are set to Unknown direction are not picked up by the script as missing speed limits. Would it be possible to have it detect this as well?

The .WKT export now encloses the POLYGON with GEOMETRYCOLLECTION( ).

I don’t know enough about the standard to know if that is “allowed”, but imports of this .WKT into this and other applications fail until I remove GEOMETRYCOLLECTION( ).

Thank you for posting that. Maybe that can be added to the OP to clarify? I was having the same issue and the whole “drawing” thing was throwing me off as I was looking in the tab area itself, not thinking about the WME toolbar.

Agreed, it is confusing for someone who has not done it before. Thankfully I had my .wkt files handy, so wasn’t an issue for me.

How about scanning status. A percentage would be great, but even a ‘still scanning’ would help on a slow computer/ connection.

FYI, found that if the script gets stuck, refreshing the map (not the page) restarts it. I’m sure something gets lost, but better then restarting.

Same thing here. I create an area, I assume any generic type, parking lot, park or whatever. Draw its extents and don’t save. The problem is I still have the area editing tools on the left and no MSL tab until I off-click that area. Then it says to select an area when I hit scan. So how do I select an area that is not saved and then click scan when the tab is not visible?

Thanks.

Click off the area so your tabs return to the left side. Go to the MSL tab.

Toward the bottom there is a “Add Custom Area” section. In there, give your area a name. Then click “add” just below that entry box. You will get a prompt to confirm undoing your changes, hit yes. This will add the area, with your custom name, to the scan option list. Now you can select your custom area and scan.

Folks, I’ve just released another script that builds upon the functionality of this script. Thought you might be interested in it: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=206376

Great script. It’s really helped. It would be nice to have an additional column that showed the number of segments in the PL. This would help us go after the areas where there are a lot of segments.

I’ve been adding the function numbSegs(pl) {return pl.split(‘&segments=’)[1].split(‘,’).length} to the spreadsheet but it would be helpful if it was already there.

I realize I could expand the PL column and just visually scan the list but this would make it more convenient.

Thanks again for a great script

I haven’t used this script in about a month but I tried today and it doesn’t scan.

I’ve tried creating an area and I’ve tried by importing wkt files. When I click scan, nothing happens.

Update: in chrome i get this error in the console:

Try Wide Area Lens – it basically replaced the MSL script, adding tons of additional options for missing or incorrect “stuff”
