Thanks , I've got Ohad Ron alarmed for a while yesterday

Sorry, I haven't noticed the feature is in WME beta until it was released here yesterday. Have not much time for reading other topics recently

20.01.2014 v0.5.0:
- NO MORE TWINKLING: new highlighting system (please report bugs/suggestions)
- note: all the settings will be reset to their defaults (major release)
- most of the checks are translated into French! Thanks to arbaot!
- new check for France: 'Unwanted abbreviation in street name'
- new check for France: '"Vers" in Ramp name'

Any reason why this segment isn't being flagged as having an unnecessary junction node?

12.01.2014 v0.4.6:
- updated "Unneeded node A/B" checks
Now it checks if the total length of the adjacent segments is less than 1km

Probably the limit should be adjusted, any suggestions?

Should be 10 km at the minimum. Rural and even suburban freeway segments can be much, much longer than 1 km.

There is a minor technical issue with long segments: if a node is out of the screen, WME does not load it. So Validator does not even trigger the group of checks which analyze both end nodes (for instance, "No inward connectivity" and 'Same endpoints')

If no complains on that - I'll increase the length limit.

To that end: the two-way drawing preference should be disabled by default.

Sure, you're right.

I do miss the flashing, maybe it's just me! Could it be optional?

Ok, I'll try.

Sorry, berestovskyy, I missed your reply before. Here's the link you wanted:
https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat ... 14&env=usa

Thanks!

You have two identical city names in that area:
38045: "Greater Manlius Area"
48105: "Greater Manlius Area"

So some of the segments are linked to city ID 38045, and some to 48105.

In that area you also have:
14696: "Syracuse"
53882: "Syracuse"
37530: "De Witt"
56539: "De Witt"
56562: "Dewitt" <- not reported, just noticed it

I can adjust the check so instead of "[correct letter case]" it will report "[identical names ID/ID]". Or shall we just ignore those duplicate city names?

Reminder: due to the false positives Validator does not highlight "Might be incorrect city names" anymore, so you have to scan an area to check city names.

we're trying to remove any instance of "Greater * Area" from the map.

Let me know if I shall implement such a check for the US.

We already have the opposite checks implemented, for instance: "City name on Freeway" for AU, FR, GF, NC, PL, RE and "No city name on Freeway" for BN, MY, SG

So no need to argue. Just let me know and any check will be enabled/disabled/tailored for your country

21.01.2014 0.5.1:
- NEW for ALL 'Lowercase city name'
- NEW for US: 'Lowercase street name (with exceptions)'
- NEW for FR, GF, NC, RE 'Lowercase street name'
- NEW for IL, US 'Two-way Ramp segment'
- NEW for IL, US 'Two-way Freeway segment'
- UPD 'Unneeded node A/B': total length is up to 10km
- UPD 'Might be incorrect city name': same names
- UPD 'Might be incorrect city name': De Witt vs Dewitt
- ENABLED for AT, CH, DE 'City name on Freeway'
- setting 'WME: Two-way segments' is off by default
- popup when settings are reset to their defaults
- popup with a changelog
- started adaptations for RTL languages
- started Israel localization
- other changes
