Waze Japan Tools Instruction Manual
This script is a small program that automatically performs useful actions on Waze web pages.
It quietly supports you in the background when you use Waze on your computer.
- Function Overview
Function 1: Waze Map Editor (WME) Environment Auto-Correction
-
When you open the editor, if the URL contains “env=usa”
-
It automatically changes it to “env=row” and reloads the page.
Function 2: Adding a “To Events” Button to the Live Map
-
When you open the Live Map page, a “To Events” button will automatically appear on the screen.
-
Clicking the button opens the Waze events page in a new tab.
-
You can move the button to any position by dragging it with your mouse.
-
The moved position is automatically remembered and will be displayed in the same place next time you open it.
-
How It Works
When Launching Waze Map Editor -
Open the editor URL in your browser
-
The script immediately detects if “env=usa” is included in the URL
-
It rewrites it to “env=row” and the page automatically refreshes
-
After that, you can edit the map as usual (it will work correctly on the Japan server)
- No operation is required. It is complete once the screen changes.
When Launching Live Map
-
Open the Live Map page in your browser
-
Within a few seconds after the page is displayed, a blue “To Events” button appears on the screen
(Initially, it appears near the bottom right) -
You can freely change the position by grabbing the button with your mouse and dragging it
-
Click the button → The event page (https://www.waze.com/ja/events) will open in a new tab
-
From the next time onwards, the button will be displayed at the last position you placed it
-
How to Operate the Button
-
Moving: Move the mouse while left-clicking (or long-pressing) the button
-
Clicking: Simply press the button once to go to the event page
-
Resetting the Position (if necessary):
Open the browser developer tools (F12 key),
Enter the following into the console and press Enter:
localStorage.removeItem(“waze_japan_tools_event_btn_pos”)
→ The button will return to its initial position (bottom right) the next time you open the page
- Notes
-
This script only works on official Waze pages
-
Nothing happens on other websites
-
The position will not be remembered in the browser’s incognito (private) mode
-
If the button does not appear, try refreshing the page (F5 key)
-
When updating the script, please replace it with the new code using Tampermonkey etc.
- Frequently Asked Questions
Q: The button is not displayed
A: Please refresh the page or check if the script is “Enabled” in the Tampermonkey management screen.
Q: The position keeps getting reset
A: Please try clearing your browser cache or deleting the localStorage as mentioned above.
Q: What if the event page URL changes?
A: Please manually correct the URL part within the script.
That is how to use this script.
No special operations are required, and it becomes automatically convenient just by using Waze.
Please enjoy using it.
