[Script] Highlights for Segments & Landmarks - v1.5 Nov 16

[AlanOfTheBerg]

I saw a post earlier in thread about not seeing the segment/junction warning highlights. The properties toolbox says "x soft turns, y u-turns" etc., but the segments don't highlight. The other manually-enabled highlights work fine. Win7 Chrome 22.0.1229.94. Only other extension enabled is Livemap navigation add-on. I've cleared cache. Same story. What am I missing?

Could you start adding the release date to the topic thread please? It's hard to keep up with all these updates.

I figured this was a joke since Tim's been changing the original post title since at least v1.4 if not earlier.

Question on speeds: On a single two-way segment, is A->B left to right (EB), or right to left (WB)? And the same goes for N to S segments.

There's no easy way to tell which end is A or B. This is unfortunate, since it's important to know which direction was recorded at 3500 mph, and which direction was only 3100.

Oh, sure there is, but in the current editor version it takes a little more work. If you set the segment to the native 1-way direction, which is the top 1-way selection in the Direction menu, which for me points to the right, the segment is now pointing from A->B.

In the next editor version, the (A) and (B) endpoints are labeled when selected.

I just had a "missing junction" map error yesterday where a new road had been added, but no junction created. Waze detected turns between the two segments. That algorithm is working. Missing road? Not so much. I just had one repeat from 3 months ago where I re-did an intersection into an offset roundabout. Waze is still looking at 3-month+ old GPS tracks for the map problem detection, which has been reported to Waze for over a year and they haven't done anything about it.

Black and white are fine, but I'd like to be able to switch. The best would be a color palette selector.

[AlanOfTheBerg]

Tim, how about an option to change the default background color? White is OK, but sometimes I wish I could make it black.

[AlanOfTheBerg]

The number of reverse connectivity issues that exist is downright startling!

It is, until you consider that the default behavior in WME for about a year was to produce reverse connectivity, which then just makes it sad.

I haven't installed the last couple updates. Thanks to Tim for this super tool! And Mike for keeping us Safari users happy.

Has the problem related to not allowing the toolbar to enable when not already logged in yet been able to be fixed?

How about the issue where segments don't select when loading a permalink which includes segments?

If it looks strange, or I used bad grammar or misspelled anything, it's my phone's fault.

Thanks! After I posted I figured there was some shortcut already.

There's just a couple, and they are fully documented. http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Map_ ... _Shortcuts
