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

It has. It will still highlight but doesn't describe the issue.

These new checks look at named drivable segments (except ramp and FW) that have no city in the primary or alt name(s). If there is no city, it will highlight in red if the segment has any HNs, or yellow if there are no HNs. 

These checks are currently only enabled in the US, although it seems it would make sense in other countries.Validator-HN.png
 

 
I think this may be a little too aggressive.  There are plenty of streets that have no HNs and never will.  

If it stays as is, I think we have reached the point we may need easy control over what is highlighted during scanning (or simply panning in my case)

I have continued to use this with the highlights. I struggle to understand why this is in Validator. Is this possible using WAL? RSel?

Conversely, if you are in a country that they are not enabled for, you could enter 54,* to enable check 54.

Learn (or relearn) something new every day.  I knew about the search tab but never really used it.  Didn't realize it could enable or disable checks.  That's a horrible interface, coupled with a link in the first post that goes to the "complete list of checks" that hasn't been updated.

I know...not your fault.  I'm glad you dove in enough to figure this stuff out, and shared how to disable those checks.  To me those are occasional checks, rather than all the time.

Sorry to hear that. The idea behind the interface is that you should never need to manage the checks manually. They should normally come from your country/region localization pack...

Anyway, it's an open source project, so any changes are welcome!


New release:

v2023.3.8:
- justins83: Minor fixes in #29 to match USA naming guidance
 

 
As an interface, it certainly is less work for the scripter.

Regarding the checks that I have been complaining about...I'm a coordinator and don't recall any discussion at the national level. I only saw Daveacincy adding the checks via pull request.

The real question is who decides what should be on or off for an entire country? In the US, that's usually the champs.

I agree. As new checks, I had to add some defaults and let people try it out, then the leadership can decide.
 

 
Could have added the checks and informed people of how to enable them to try them out, rather than make them default on.

Haha, certainly!

The actual list of checks is available under Settings (gear) > About (question mark) > Available checks... The forum engine has been updated, so now the generated BBCode has small glitches. This prevents me from updating the list of check on the forum.

Would you like to contribute some of your time and fix those glitches, turbomkt? Ideally we should fix the BBCode generator in the Validator, but if you could fix the glitches manually, it would also help the community.
 

 
I can put it on my list, but don't wait for me.  The list grows daily.
