Shall I call it "Isolated drivable segments"? Or just a "Drivable segments with all turns restricted"?

Check the error log, there must be some errors. I can force WMET to continue map scanning despite the errors, if it makes any sense...

Thanks!

ETA is just what it is. It depends on 1) how many segments you have and 2) network/Waze servers performance.

WMET reports "finishing in a minute" when there are in fact less than 2 minutes left. Those 2 mins are to compensate the fact that if you scan a large city, then usually at the end of the scan there are some rural areas with much less number of segments.

Maybe it's not always the case, so I'll try to address it in a next release.

Sure, it will be implemented for US in a feature version. But I'd suggest to deal with the abbreviations in US using your "Waze Abbreviations and TTS" table. It looks a bit scary, but with some help...

1. We can make a "white" list of abbreviations with a dot at the end (i.e. "E.", "Dr.", "Intl.") so WMET will report any other abbreviation (i.e. "Ln.").

2. There are also some notes in the table like "n/a. Use alts.", so we can make another list of such the abbreviations with suggested substitutions, so WMET will report: change "Aut" abbreviation to "Autoroute", "Avn" to "Av" etc.

What do you think?

Can there be a report what highlights new streets. After 1-1-2014 what have no house numbers added
And second a report before 1-1-2014 to display roads with are missed by the import.
IMO WME does not store house number update date. And when you change a number, the segment's update date does not change as well. So, unfortunately there is no way to distinct house numbers set prior or after some date :(

Could you please give an example?

Ok, the check for a dot at the very end will be in the next release. If you have an idea how to deal with those TTS incompatible abbreviations - just let me know ;)

22, 24 and 26 are double.
Peter, those duplicate house numbers are assigned to the different segments. For instance, the first number "24" is assigned to the segment 89337363 (link), but the second one is assigned to the segment 89337356 (link) In other words no promises on that at the moment.

I also noticed that those imported house numbers are marked with a null updatedBy field. So it is possible to report a street with/without imported house numbers. But there might be a significant amount of false reports (for instance, when house numbers were imported first and then updated by a user.)

The "report a named street with no house numbers" is doable. I guess I have to ask Oyyo to share house numbers from Toolbox to WMET, so we don't pull those numbers twice...
