[Script] WME Wide-Angle Lens

yes i’m running 1.4.4. i just did a few scans and it looks like the only offender now is FC Layer populating after the scan. may bad for thinking the others i mentioned were there too. FC layer is pollutes the screen so i hadn’t noticed that the others weren’t there.

Looks like that’s one of MoM’s scripts; I’ve made him aware of the issue for a different script of his, so if you tell him it’s happening with that one, he should be able to fix it. Basically, when you disable and re-enable the parent group (e.g. Display) in the layers menu, the script incorrectly thinks you want to enable everything within the group, rather than retaining its previous display preference.

Just came here to ask the same thing. ADOT has been putting a lot of roundabouts in lately, and until sat views are updates, it pretty much just SWAG. GPS helps in most places, but … :wink:

Thanks

Forgot to post here: Latest release 1.4.5 to fix some compatibility with the latest WME. Also, the streets plugin has been updated to keep the filename length shorter, as that could cause issues when loading in Excel, in some cases. Let me know if you run into any issues

Updated the places and streets plugins. Places only had lock levels 1-3, so that goes up to 7 now, as does streets (in case anyone wants to find the staff locks).

Hello - I don’t see an option to scan for segments that have active RTCs – is there a way to do that? And also to capture information on the closure?

If not, please consider that enhancement – that would be super-helpful in managing storms such as the current efforts with Hurricane Florence in the Carolinas. We have been maintaining a sheet to manage closures, but there are also some closures added by Waze and/or CCP partners that are on the map.

Thanks!

Good call (sorry for not responding sooner!). I’ll work on getting that added; would certainly be beneficial!

Would it be possible to add “Has no House Numbers” as an option for the Streets scan?

Now that we have good information in many areas via GIS-layers, it’s becoming simpler to add the missing ones in.

Thanks!

It’s great to have a tool like this that can scan at a pretty low level!

I have been scanning roads for a variety of issues, and noticed that when WAL finds a road with an “unknown direction of travel” the “Issue” is simply the word None. While this is probably technically correct, “No direction” or “Unknown direction” might be a little more descriptive, especially when they’re mixed in a list with dozens of "Soft turns or “No city” issues.

Thanks

I hadn’t noticed that, can definitely make that change.

That should be a pretty simple change to make, look for it in the next release! …sometime…

New release! Quite a few things were added, in addition to fixing up WAL for the latest WME release:

  • Add new update alert from WazeWrap
    Now all plugins will list updates in one location

  • If scan is running, alert the user when they leave the page

  • Fix bug where output destination not saved
    Streets plugin

  • Fix unknown direction issue being reported as none

  • Add option to scan only roundabouts

  • Add check for missing house numbers

If you have something you’d like added or fixed, just let me know or open an issue in GitHub

Could we get an issue type in the streets plugin for streets that don’t have a city name in the primary or as an alt?

CrazyCaveman – thanks for keeping this script going! Running a streets scans in various counties in Pa (e.g., Washington Co), I’m getting this error; I was able to get past it by setting the option Ignore Roundabouts:

app-2fa2743c9a7311ded98e.js:1 Error getting features TypeError: segment.getRoundabout is not a function at Object.ScanExtent (userscript.html?id=6a4cc9ad-3796-4426-afd4-f9c637540981:922) at scanExtent (userscript.html?id=683a7885-5e25-4b90-9e64-ab6313fc9603:2283) at Function.onOperationDone (userscript.html?id=683a7885-5e25-4b90-9e64-ab6313fc9603:2342) at Array.eval (userscript.html?id=683a7885-5e25-4b90-9e64-ab6313fc9603:2411) at Array.<anonymous> (vendor-2468fb91ad44e63a878c.js:1) at d (vendor-2468fb91ad44e63a878c.js:1) at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (vendor-2468fb91ad44e63a878c.js:1) at Object.<anonymous> (vendor-2468fb91ad44e63a878c.js:1) at d (vendor-2468fb91ad44e63a878c.js:1) at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (vendor-2468fb91ad44e63a878c.js:1)

It seems to be happening at line 922 on this code:

if (!settings.Roundabouts) { addSegment(segment, (!segment.isInRoundabout() ? null : segment.getRoundabout().attributes.id ), issues, newSegment);

Thanks!

Hello.
I’ve been using WAL for a couple of days. I get inconsistent results (missing venues) everytime I run it. I’m not using any filters. Is there a zoom level I need to be when creating the areas? What about when scanning?
Other strange thing is the bigger the area, the less results I get. When I scan a whole province I get 130 results for places, but when I scan a much smaller area (a neighborhood) I get 420 results.
Are these issues related to the recent changes to the WME?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

That’s an interesting issue. Would you mind sharing a PL where it happens? Maybe not everything loads before the scan moves to the next area, but the zoom is set to 5 in order to get every place, doesn’t matter the area size or your zoom level when starting the scan.

I tried it again today, and it’s working great. The only thing is, accented characters are displaying with symbols.

Ok, thanks for verifying. I’ll see if I can get that fixed, try to hunt down a few to play with

You can probably fix it by inserting a UTF BOM (“\ufeff” + CSV Content).

var blob = new Blob(["\ufeff" + csvContent], {type: "data:text/csv;charset=utf-8;"});

Would it be possible to add to the WAL Streets Issues “No Connection” segments?

I’m finding more and more of them in rural areas which are otherwise impossible to find at the zoom level needed to cover large areas.

Wondering if there is a way to take an existing area shape in WME and use that in the WAL script. For example, I’ve drawn this area comment to cover a village within a town:
https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lon=-73.11385&lat=44.49066&zoom=2&mapComments=188023229.1879970146.289655

(or is there a way in WME to export that such that it can be imported into WAL?)
