I'm not aware of any changes in JAI that could cause such a strange behaviour.
I personally experienced "rapid scrolling" even without any addon enabled, thus maybe it just coincidentally happened to you after installing JAI.
Every time I've experienced this bug -- and it's happened a few times over the years -- it's been some interaction between Toolbox and URO.

Thanks
Just disable it in Tampermonkey or Chrome.

I don't know, I think 170 is already a little steep. If they decided to change the angle to 160-165 I would be fine with that, we just need to test.

Got it, sorry about that :) I thought you meant the Waze routing devs, rather than the JAI script devs. Carry on ;)

Perhaps, but maybe a little too thoughtful. The alternative is that you have a lot of 150-169 degree bowties that give a "Turn left", which is very confusing.

For reference:


Waze Selected, best continuation


None (TIO)


Continue (TIO)


To me, this is perfectly adequate.

I would recommend changing your "direction arrows" setting. To be honest I don't know why the first four options even exist. With a 'continue' they are misleading for sure. At least, there should be an 'up arrow' or carat ^ for continue with the first four options, if people like <> for exit/keep for some reason.

I say, just delete the first four sets. No reason to display the left and right arrow when the up-left and up-right would be more appropriate anyway.

All my in/out streets were two-way, again confirming what Leorenaud said.
For the record, as far as I know, this is a server-level configuration difference which is not true on the North American server.

White is the default color for both "none" and "continue" in JAI, which is something I wish would be changed. I personally recommend everyone change the color for "continue" to something else. I use light blue.

(Other things that should be enabled by default IMO:
  • the direction arrows that show diagonal arrows for keep & exit should also be the default setting;
  • check "override instruction"; and
  • show angles of "override instruction".
Not having them enabled by default only causes confusion.)

All of the colors can be modified in the JAI settings tab.

For the moment, is the best solution ;)

The problem:

Code: Select all

angleDisplayArrows: { elementType: "select", elementId: "_jaSelAngleDisplayArrows", defaultValue: "<>", options: ["<>", "⇦⇨", "⇐⇒", "←→", "⇐⇒⇖⇗⇑", "←→↖↗↑"]},	

Code: Select all

	var ja_arrow = {
		get: function(at) {
			var arrows = ja_getOption("angleDisplayArrows");
			return arrows[at % arrows.length];
		},
		left: function() { return this.get(0); },
		right: function() { return this.get(1); },
		left_up: function() { return this.get(2); },
		right_up: function() { return this.get(3); },
		up: function() { return this.get(4); }
	};
When I implemented the overrides, I simply added these two symbols: ⇑ ↑
And I had not tested the first 4 set of symbols :oops:

I think of a better way to do ...
Maybe just delete the first 4 set of symbols ?

Sorry, but I'm not the original author. ;)
Choosing the last option works VERY well !
