Ok, so loading them both via a CRX solves it.

When I load just WMET with the CRX, the problem remains.

An additional indication when the panning is messed up: the city name in the dark grey box (upper left of map) doesn't seem to ever fill in. I'm not sure what loading is getting hung up.

I had the same issue with Chrome+TM on Windows.

When I moved both URO+ and WMET to be Chrome CRX extensions, everything worked correctly.

So... it seems there may still be some interaction issues when using the TM/GM interface to the browser.

Yes, kmph is NOT appropriate -- kph is an accepted abbreviation, but not preferred. km/h is the preferred abbreviation (and what we see on signs here in Canada).

It depends heavily on for whom. I'd bet for those living outside of the Imperial part of the world it surely is not - it does not even mention the kilometers.
According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilometres_per_hour):
"For example, news organisations such as Reuters[24] and The Economist[25] require "kph"."

Also, for understanding vernacular -- Google it. "kmph" doesn't show anything about km/h on the first page. "kph" does.

I'm not arguing *for* kph -- just that it's better than kmph... of course km/h trumps them all.

Twister: you're welcome to request an AM area in Canada -- I would wholeheartedly support that for your ongoing development...

Sure is nice being able to filter out the closed URs and MPs. The map is no much less cluttered without that there.
Ditto. That is an awesome feature.

If I had to suggest one refinement to it: ability to filter all those closed *by me* (and leave all others visible).

I'd be interested to hear if this is still identified as a problem.

In my experience, the issue is that the contiguous AM area extends off the screen and the username only appears once in the whole area (centered).

Have you tested this with URO+ since the update? It may simply be a display issue that it doesn't put your username where you expect it...

I believe JNF makes them visible at a wider zoom (not the widest, but only one step in)

I doubt Waze will get to it soon, but as Places will soon be even more common across the map, I think having filtering will be absolutely necessary. Some way to multi-select will be superb. Perhaps expanding lists with the ability to select sub-items as well as parent.
Quite a while ago, I had suggested the list type view for Toolbox (similar to the street list). It was being considered, but clearly Oyyo hasn't gotten to it.

believe it or not, this is actually ergonomically worse (for my setup, anyway). when I'm closing out stale URs, my left hand is on the CTRL-V on the left side of the keyboard to paste in the final "closing // no response", and my right hand is on the mouse to select the text box, click send, select not identified, and then click off to the next UR. pressing enter would require moving one hand or the other away from its "home" position for this task. perhaps I can get a foot pedal that will press my enter key for me ;)

failing that, i will continue in my search of ways to nix that popup. with greasemonkey, there is always a way...
How close is your mouse to your keyboard? If they're on the same level, you may be able to reach the enter key on the numeric keypad with the right (mouse) hand thumb...
