Black and white are fine, but I'd like to be able to switch. The best would be a color palette selector. :)

I just had a "missing junction" map error yesterday where a new road had been added, but no junction created. Waze detected turns between the two segments. That algorithm is working. Missing road? Not so much. I just had one repeat from 3 months ago where I re-did an intersection into an offset roundabout. Waze is still looking at 3-month+ old GPS tracks for the map problem detection, which has been reported to Waze for over a year and they haven't done anything about it.

There's no easy way to tell which end is A or B. This is unfortunate, since it's important to know which direction was recorded at 3500 mph, and which direction was only 3100. 8-)
Oh, sure there is, but in the current editor version it takes a little more work. If you set the segment to the native 1-way direction, which is the top 1-way selection in the Direction menu, which for me points to the right, the segment is now pointing from A->B.

In the next editor version, the (A) and (B) endpoints are labeled when selected.

I figured this was a joke since Tim's been changing the original post title since at least v1.4 if not earlier.

I saw a post earlier in thread about not seeing the segment/junction warning highlights. The properties toolbox says "x soft turns, y u-turns" etc., but the segments don't highlight. The other manually-enabled highlights work fine. Win7 Chrome 22.0.1229.94. Only other extension enabled is Livemap navigation add-on. I've cleared cache. Same story. What am I missing?

This was fixed in v1.4.2. Do you have the latest?
I did. And I do. I removed what I had, cleared browsing data, exited Chrome, loaded it up, downloaded 1.4.2 fresh, renamed the file which showed it was downloaded today, loaded into Chrome, loaded WME and I still have the same issue:

There are no errors related to highlights in the console, though there is an error I've not seen before related to the "old" Other Users layer with a call blocked to marx.waze.com.

I wonder what I have installed or in use which is "blocking" this?

I wouldn't see that either! :x

Okay, folks. Nothing to see here. Move along. Back to the non-Alan topic at hand. Thanks much. That's right.

The city of "Washington" really is in the list of cities from Waze, so must be a bug at their end. The only thing that is different about the "state" cities is a much higher ID number, around 100,000,000+. I've attempted to filter out these cities, which will hopefully not hide any real cities.
The state appearing in the list of Cities started happening in the Editor a couple of months ago. I never thought it a big enough deal to mention as some kind of bug.
