I noticed the Firefox version has a later version and more features than the Chrome version. Is development stopped on the Chrome version? Or is the link in the wiki out of date?

OK. That is my point. The ZIP file you attached is not universally unzippable. I am using the very popular WinZIP Pro from 2011 and it will not unzip this file. I can certainly go get a different unzip application, but if you have a way of zipping with something less unique that might help.

Either way thanks so much for your work on this matter.

When I try to install it on Chrome in Win7, I get "Package is invalid: 'CRX_MAGIC_NUMBER_INVALID'."

Ok, here's how I solved my problem:

Changed filename back to .zip
Unzipped file
Went into Chrome Extensions and checked developer mode
Choose "Install unpacked extensions" and pointed it to the unzipped folder.

The segment list is great for selecting a bunch of roads with a similar property, the highlighter tool doesn't replace that. Its a great way to fix streets missing the city, or correcting a mispelling.

I gotta agree with Kent on this. Highlighting all the segments with Portola Valley, and then manually clicking each individual segment is nowhere near as convenient.

I don't think it's an issue; it's a shortcut to the same public-facing GUI that we would get if we copied & pasted the GPS coordinates by hand, just like switching between Papyrus and Cartouche.

One problem I have run into (using FF 9.0.1) is that the "Open in" {cartouche_old,livemap} links are not working. The problem seems to start here (lines 1455-6 and 1479-80):

Code: Select all

  var href = $(".WazeControlPermalink").children("a").attr("href");
  href = getUrlVars(href);
The first line leaves the value of "href" undefined, which causes the function call in the next line to fail. This code has not changed since the previous version of the tools, which worked fine under the previous editor.
