It's working for me, but I have the Waze Wrapper fix in place and that might be enough. As an addition to the recommendation of URO+ fixing things...try to have URO+ load before Validator.

I think that's hard to enforce. These scripts are written by Wazers and hosted elsewhere. Now if Waze wanted to compensate them for making WME better...

That interface would give Validator a filtered view of WME and that view would look exactly like WME did before Waze 'updated' WME.

That should be possible (I'm not saying easy) and that would not violate the usage terms for Validator.

I know I can't do it, and it might be slow and some of the errors might be difficult to 'translate' from 'new WME' to 'old WME'. But it should be possible. And heck, it might even be easier than figuring out how to 'fix' Validator. :)


Just a crazy idea that occurred to me. (kind of like 'sugar coating the bitter medicine')
I believe this is the essential intent of Waze Wrap.

I hope he will because this is one of the most useful scripts. Thanks for you work. JD
By default I don't have it running.

That makes sense. But at the same time, the script has to know what segments to highlight and how. That might be where the log comes in.

This should NOT be fixed. With two segments like the example, Waze may suggest a route via the wrong way. It's counter-intuitive, but I have seen it done. A two segment loop, even with one way segments, must be fixed.

I'm going to guess most US editors would want it disabled by default since we use WMEPH.

This is based on the assumption that much of what it scans for overlaps what WMEPH already does for the US, but without the integrated tools to fix the issues found.

I may have misunderstood the use case. Since then I have seen the issue.
