This is a placeholder for the announcement of the new WME version release.
Dear Editors,
please feel free to add your comments.
How to turn off fullscreen mode now? Sorry if it sounds stupid.
The succes save screen, don’t show anymore

Waiting for the new announcement with full change log. I can see the new Junction Box feature is now enabled, but adding one causes an error. I’m assuming the Junction Box feature is not fully enabled yet.
Like the smaller icons.
Don’t like the delay introduced after changes are saved. The “saved successfully” is now accompanied by a map overlay which stops all interaction with the map.
Why move the zoom and streetview controls to the right-hand-side? When I’m editing, most interaction is on the left (once I’ve set the layers at the beginning of an editing session). Moving the zoom/streetview controls to the right now has me ping-ponging between left and right of the screen. how about making streetview activation a right-click ?
The new “External providers” attribute for all places - what does this do?
I’ve found the search autocomplete is not biased to the country I’m editing in, which leaves a default USA bias to the results. The google places api this uses can be bound to a country, which would make this easier to use
e.g. http://waze.cartwright.tv/getGooglepoi.php
Cheers
As I understand it, this links a place search result coming from an external source (e.g. Google) to the Waze place. Waze will then use its own location information for navigation, rather than the location returned by the external search result.
Absolutely correct. We made big progress with this feature in the beta phase. Not sure if it’s now available for all but in beta it was only for level 4+.
A big issue for us: With the new version, it is not possible to remove a speedlimit.
We have two situations where we need this:
1.) On roads that have time-specific limits (like daytime 30 in front of a school or kindergarten)
2.) On freeways with unlimited speed
For case 1, Waze has announced that a mapping solution is in the works, but no ETA, so we can’t map a valid speed there.
For case 2, staff explicitely stated that “0” = no limit is the correct value.
So I believe we are still in compliance with the rare company guidance in both cases, yet the new check will not allow this.
The only solution to get rid of a bad speedlimit: Delete the segment and create a new one.
Yet THIS is explicitely against repeated staff guidance as it purges all historical speed data.
What now?
Best,
Detlev
BTW: Is MapSir aware of this new topic? :roll:
Not sure - though I do find it odd that this new topic was created and then announced, there has been some other good conversation occurring within The other WME board…
I would imagine it’s for higher rank editors
Hi,
I understand it was meant to be easier to use(the new version), but si not.
Any way, what about the new button “Dirt Road / 4x4 Trail” in between “Toll Road” and “Tunnel”?
Cheers
I little bummed that previously requested ridiculously simple changes made to improve editing addresses for places. In a nutshell, leave the “None” checkbox for a place Street unchecked, it is a completely unnecessary extra click Every. Single. Time.

It will take a developer more time to locate where this attribute’s on/off flag is set than it will to actually fix it.
+1… Why in the world would commonly-used functions be intentionally moved apart from each other instead of kept so all the tools are in one general area? That’s basic UI 101.
[I overlooked the previous message about this, sorry]
Today I got a Saving Error “Invalid speed limit” (as well), attempting to remove an already set Speed Limit.
I tried without userscript and both production WME and beta, with an unsuccessful result.
Already a known problem and a solution scheduled?
Regards, Eric
Yep, it’s a known issue.
KT - I’m sure the other conversation was good… but it was in the topic created for the prior WME release (1.13, release 2/16)!
So this is the new location for all WME update posts? Isn’t staff the ones that makes those posts to track all the issues.

Feed does not work in the Russian interface!
Well I think this is the better option. We know the UI has changed with new functions so it has to be a new version of WME. Don’t know why staff hasn’t made a new topic unless the functionality isn’t complete? This prevents some confusion as the new UI isn’t part of the older WME topic.
