Scripts View history

The Waze community has created the following plugins/extensions/addons for use in the Waze web-based environments. (Client-side possible?)


Editing

Waze Map Editor Extended Tools

Simplified, original tool:

This plugin/extension which displays a table of all the current view's country, state, city and street names. You can select all segments of a street using a custom button. This extension makes it very easy to find and fix incorrect cities and states (for the US) and bad street names.

This table of information appears on the left side of the window, to the left of the map display area, and underneath the Properties drawer. If you don't see it, retract the Properties drawer.

It's still here : Simplified, older version


Expanded tool

CAUTION! Please do not use this tool unless you are a very experience Waze editor and fully understand the ramifications of using this tool. Even experienced editors should learn how to use it only on very smaller areas at a time. Read the forums linked below to better learn how to use it and to understand the ramifications of its use!

This powerful plugin/extension expands on the capabilities of the previous tool (above). The display table is a movable and resizable popup window. Other functions include:

(Features list updated last prior to 2012-Jan-26)

  • The ability to select columns displayed. The list aggregates based on visible columns.
  • "Update by" column can be displayed, allowing differentiation of basemap one-way (etc.) vs. editor-set
  • Batch editing of properties:

- For example, allows the city name to be changed for segments of an entire street without losing the street names. - Interprets the street name "D17 - Av de Paris" in two fields: street id and street name. Thus it is possible to redefine the street id or street name independently. You can name a new D17 from a street already named. - The id Street must meet the regex / [^] * [0-9] [^] * / (in French: something with a number without any spaces anywhere) [research "regular expression" elsewhere]

  • Select ALL segments within an area: Create a new landmark and then "Select in landmark." (Be sure to delete this temporary landmark before saving!)
  • Roundabout editing tool
  • Button to link to same area of Waze Map Editor (fka: Papyrus or New Cartouche) to the Old Cartouche editor.

NOTE: The feature list above is not comprehensive, and is often not current with the latest version of the tool. Please see the forums listed below for the latest changes.

The current version can be found in the Google Project code library, here for the Firefox browser:

And here for the Google Chrome browser:

(If you have any older versions, uninstall them first before intalling this auto updating version.)

Street to River

Street created, selected and named
River created and helper street deleted

The script is designed as a helper for creating river landmarks for the free waze navigation system. The script transforms the the geometry of a new unsaved street to a river landmark. You can predefine the width of the river and the name of the river in the form of a special street name.

Mini howto:

  • install this script as greasemonkey script or chrome extension
  • draw a new street but do not save the street
  • add and apply a street name to define the rivers name and the the width of the river
Example: 20m Spree creates a 20 meters wide river named Spree
  • Select the helper street
  • Click the Street to river button
  • Delete the helper street
  • Edit the new landmark as you like. You can even set the landmark to another type. "Here" it is used to mark a railroad (using landmark type 'other'.








Examples of rivers created by the script:

Download the script from: userscripts.org (Firefox requires the Greasemonkey Addon.)

Discussion for the script can be found in the forum topic: "Greasemonkey script for easy river drawing"

LiveMap

LiveMap Navigation List

This plugin/extension works with the Waze LiveMap only. After installing, create a route in the LiveMap by clicking on the origin and destination. Once the LiveMap requests the route, the left side area will switch from the current events scrolling list, to a navigation list of the route. Multiple routes are displayed. Each turn is clickable and the map will zoom to that location.

Download the LiveMap Navigation List (Firefox requires the Greasemonkey Addon.)
