when WME starts, this script is always visible as a map layer.
I would like to start WME and it to not automatically be a visible map layer.

Thanks
When wme starts it remembers your layer settings from your last session, unless you had you are using a link to open wme which includes the &layers=### parameter.

If the layer is off when you last closed wme on that browser, and you open it with a blank URL http://www.waze.com/editor/ with nothing after that it should stay off.

Is this not the case?

If the two segments have different names out may have an effect we should test that

I recently discovered that allowing the routing preference of a segment to make the be treated as a different type for routing also affects best continuation.

This means in plain terms that a primary street segment which set as preferred will be treated as a minor highway during the best continuation algorithm assessment.

The script currently doesn't recognize this, and should be updated. If you need samples or a better explanation, I can make some for you.

I suspect an accident. The BC algorithm is based on a guess that similar road types would be a better visual continuation in teh real world. A "preference" level should not affect that - it is a way to give weight to a routing path, but should have nothing to do with visuals that BC tries to mimic.

Can you pass this on to the devs, if you haven't already?
Will do

Maybe I am missing something obvious?
https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Junction_Sty ... an_U-turns

Maybe it alerts when you select 3 segments? For more detailed checking it would be better done with a validation type area check but we have to start somewhere ;)
It's already available in a beta version of this thread, you can find a sample picture and download links if you scroll back.

That beta version was written by a different author, the original must check it, decide if he likes it, and incorporate it into the original script when he has time .

Not one which I have surgically noticed. However the turn angle on the right branch there is 43° which is still very close to 45°. I always recommend to editors to leave a 5-10° buffer for turn angles (meaning don't use angles between 35°-55°, or at least 40°-50°) just to be safe. It is possible that due to the method for calculating angles, and distance the threshold could change slightly in different parts of the globe as well.

It would be nice to have an option to show both instructions (if both are presented) - the "guessed" and the "overrided".

Hi there I am using the latest version 1.13.11 and I am not seeing the TIO override instructions being reflected in the JAI bubbles. I have turns which natively are exit, but I used an override to change to "turn" and the JAI bubble is still showing them as an exit (blue). This is occurring in production WME. Wanted to let you know. Thanks for all your work..
