Suggest either a different word, or no name at all, for Places which do not have a name. Script currently displays, "NaN" which is technically kind of correct.

(Browser type and version, Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey used or not, maybe the OS version.)
Win7, Chrome 38.0.2125.104, Tampermonkey 3.9.

Example: https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... 217.177569

It looks like there is a single space (or other whitespace character) in the Name field.

Thanks for all your suggestions and support.
Looks good.

Next request: remember the state of the layer on/off between page loads. If I turn Place Names layer off, then reload the browser window, they turn back on. It should load in the same state I left it.

Request: Do not highlight Private/Residential Places as they should have no name.

We really need something to highlight private Places which have no number. Something like venue.attributes.residential && (venue.attributes.houseNumber is empty)

Issue/bug: With landmarks which curve, the Place Name may not be within the landmark bounds itself. I'd like to see this updated. Ex: https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... 950.563573

Yeah, I understand the difficulty here. Just thinking... Could you do a comparison of the area the actual Place uses compared to the smallest rectangle it fits in, and if it is below a certain threshold, like 50% or something maybe, then put the label at the location of the stop point, otherwise put it at the center as it is now. ?

Fixed, check v0.80.
Took me a moment to realize that the PlaceNames menu item is now under Places. An appropriate place for it, of course, but is different from before. I also didn't bother to read any update details, so probably my own fault. :mrgreen:

With the proliferation of Places, so many so close, I'd welcome to have the option to hide the actual pins/areas of Places which do not match my filter criteria.

I personally would also welcome a case-insensitive filter.
