Hi Andy,

Sorry for the delay in responding. I'm having trouble reproducing the problem. Could you send a permalink to a road that is showing this behaviour?

Thanks,
K.

Thanks for that.

I see why It wasn't doing it for me. It only happens if you have 'Invalid street name formats' unticked which of course you would have in Germany!

I'll look into a fix for it.

I have uploaded a new version which fixes the bug mentioned above where parking roads were without names were being highlighted if 'Invalid street name formats' was not checked.

V 2.31.4

As always let me know if there are any problems.

Cheers.

Highlighting service roads, etc. isn't a problem, personally. The script is a tool to draw my attention to 95% of problems, it won't replace my editing discretion, and I know what I need to ignore. Maybe you could add some advice of what to ignore into the "settings page" though?

Thanks again, Big K, for maintaining this script! It's incredibly valuable to me as I find the highlighter tool extension on RSel unreliable.

And darn, there are some good points I didn't consider either.

Whitelisting 'The' isn't triggering any mental alarms that I can think of. Good on you.

Looks like there's a bug in the script as it is still highlighting unnamed parking lot, private, etc despite the setting set to FALSE. I've reported it to the dev.

Wrong thread

Came on here to try & find out why my Waze has recently started calling local streets "Saint" instead of street. I guess it's a problem for others too.

I'm finding it to be inconsistent - some streets are fine, but the next street is not. On a drive yesterday I went from a Street, into a Saint, then another Saint and back into a Street.

Thank you for adding this feature, here's how it looks like in WME

St or St. at the end of the string will be pronounced as Street and in any other location it'll will be pronounced as Saint.

If/when this happens, you first example will be pronounced as "Blah Saint Service Road". So, that's a good reason not to abbreviate in the middle of a sentence.

Can this be rolled back as there are ramp names which are also affected. I would suggest his change is causing way more issues than the attempt to fix the Saint problem.

So this is being rolled back?
