Yes, as a matter of fact it works quite nicely for me on Chrome ...

Same thing in production here.

FYI: this script no longer works in beta since they got rid of the header where the 'Enable Snapshot Mode' link is put.

Maybe inside settings tab would be a suitable alternative? Or maybe Waze will create their own button for it?

Restrictions are usually intended to prevent damage to the map. Since you can't edit anything in snapshot mode, you inherently can't cause any map damage so I don't see any reason to restrict it.

very interesting and useful indeed! Thank you ;)

How does the script know how an area looked before though? I can imagine it would be easy to visually remove recently created segments by comparing the tiles updates date and their latest edits, but for segments that have been deleted, how would it know there was something before?

Do you store a snapshot of the entire WME map somewhere with each new update?

Feeling like I didn't understand the script correctly maybe.. unless this is looking in the past simply by converting how the livemap looks onto WME before an update?

I guess I'm a bit confused :oops: sorry

I see, then that's awesome, thanks ;)

Do they keep just one copy ? It would be great to be able to go back in time a few updates back.

We just had confirmation from staff that Snapshot mode was activated for R4+ editors in the WME beta changelog.
