I am not seeing this. Can you do a video snap of this happening? I tried copying text from general display on the left panel, in text fields, the permalink field, etc.

You didn't assign Ctrl+c to a shortcut did you?

Please feel free to post a suggestion in the app forum.

Some great new features, thanks.

I especially like that the County now corrects itself when you input a City name. Bravo

Hi
Why this

One thing I've noticed about the new stop point for PPs feature is that once the stop point has been moved independent of the PP, it appears the two will always be separated and can no longer be moved together. Not a huge deal, but I was wondering if there was a way for the two to be rejoined.

The other thing is with the new feature, you will no longer be able to see at a glance the stop point placement of multiple PPs, like at a shopping center or mall. You will now need to click each PP individually to see if the stop point is where it should be. Again, not a huge deal, but it might require some more effort on the editor's part to see that stops points are where they should be. Perhaps someone could create a script that could allow editors to see stop points for multiple PPs, or perhaps an indicator that the stop point is no longer in the same position as the PP.

Overall, I think this is a very nice new feature for WME.

It needs to be mentioned, I believe, that the new "Entry Point" (i.e. stop point) feature for Point Places has a severe downside: it's now impossible to tell at a glance which Point Places will route incorrectly.

I have corrected hundreds of Point Places in the past simply by noticing questionable placements while I happened to be scanning an area. Now I have to click on every Point Place to verify correct entry/stop points; that's not a good use of energy, and it's no fun either. From a maintenance and verification standpoint, honestly I liked it better the way it was.

Within the volunteer community, as well as within Waze itself, there is enthusiasm for taking maximum advantage of new features and an expectation that long-term map maintenance and verification will take care of itself. That's an understandable perspective, but I worry it doesn't give enough weight to the ever-increasing volunteer workload that's resulted from some recent features. Granted our volunteer scripts are amazing and go a long way towards compensating for these issues, but they can never be more than band-aids on what Waze provides. Not to mention Waze's regular habit of ripping those band-aids off.

I've heard that Waze is concerned that action alerts in some areas are appearing faster than local editors are dealing with them. If Waze wants to improve volunteer productivity, it needs to take into account volunteer efficiency!

I hope future releases can address these maintenance & verification issues.

The entry point is the best of the list

If so, can we not name them the same - either Stop Point or Entry Point? Naming them differently brings to mind that these two perform different functions.

They should be named the same. MapSir has used the name probably because that is what the devs call it. For now, we would call it a Stop Point. (In the future, Places will have multiple navigation points, and probably can be designated entry and/or exit points.)

(I tried different changes - geometry, adding a street, the problem is always the same)

There was an issue with the closest segment script causing the save button to not update but another change would trigger a change. JustinS83 fixed it this morning. Make sure if you are running that script its the fixed version 1.0.3.0. May not be the issue but something similar so worth verifying.

This isn't new in this release - it has been in production for months (since at least March), although it would have been nice to get a release note for it when it was released. Just be careful doing anything with the duplicate...if you delete the duplicate instead of accepting/rejecting the PUR the original Place gets deleted as well.
