On this page, you will find a brief overview of the features of the WME URComments script. Within WME, holding the mouse over any of the items will show tool tips describing the function or displaying the text to be used. For an extensive description, please view the illustrated slideshow.

Updates

This script has an auto-update feature which automatically download and install the up-to-date version upon release.

Features

WME URComments displays the URs in your screen with a brief indication of its status; amount of comments, amount of days since last comment, and who the commenter is. White and blue pills indicate URs that you currently handle. You can find an elaborate description of the pills in the illustrated slideshow.

This script adds another tab to the left side panel in WME. There are four main elements, the header and three sub tabs. We will explain each of the elements below.

Header

1. UR Comments Version Number: Tampermonkey and Greasemonkey are not always reliable at fetching updates, so once-in-a-while it is a good idea to check your version number against the version listed on greasyfork.
2. Zoom Out 0 & Close UR: Zooms all the way out and closes the UR window.
3. Zoom Out 2 & Close UR: Zooms out to level 2
4. Zoom Out 3 & Close UR: Zooms out to level 3. This is where you can find most of the toolbox highlighting works.
5. Map reload button: Reloads the map without having to go into Waze's layers menu
6. 55 or any other number: amount of active URs (maybe hidden by filters) in your display

Comments

WME URComments generates comments based on UR report type. You can have them auto-inserted in the text window of the UR, or choose from a list of other comments. You can adjust the comments before sending, depending on the presets. To make your own custom list, view the tutorial.

The comments in the list are color coded, black, orange, green, and red. They all generate a standard text that auto-inserts in the comment window. If you enable the setting "Auto click open, solved, not identified", the script will also set the status of the UR:

• Black comments set the UR Status to "Open"
• Orange comments set the UR Status to "Not Identified"
• Green comments set the UR Status to "Solved"
• Red comments have errors in the script; they will still generate the comment text and then set the UR Status to "Open"

Before actually sending your commment, make sure you understand the report and adjust the text accordingly!

Filters

You can set several kinds of filters for URs to display. Hover your mouse over the items will show tool tips describing their function.

Also, you can set the amount of days after you wish to send a reminder message, and the amount of days after you would like to close a message.

Integration with URO+

From version 1.1.0 on, you can easily use URComments without URO+ installed, since URComments has it's own filter settings. For those using URO+, URComments works smoothly together. However, if you use URO+ filters, the filters of URComments will be disabled. To enable them, simply check Enable URComments UR filtering. You may need to disable URO+ filters first.

Settings

In the settings, you define how URComments works for you. To make yourself acquintainted, it is recommended to check all settings from the first list, except the 8th and the last two. Holding the mouse over any of the items will show tool tips describing the function.

From the Comment List Drop down menu, choose which list you want to use. The available files are listed under Installation. To make your own list, use the Custom List and view the tutorial. If you need support, you can find assistance in the forum.

Some advanced settings are at the bottom of this tab. Make yourself acquainted with this script before you change the settings and use them with care, especially the Auto send reminders option.

WME Junction Node Fixer (JNF)

by bgodette

Junction Node Fixer has several features. The primary focus of JNF is that it overloads the 'q' (disallowAllTurns) keyboard shortcut to preserve existing turn restrictions. 'Overloading' means that it takes over all functionality of the 'q' hotkey only. The 'q' keyboard shortcut performs the following actions

• Fixes any self and reverse connectivity issues
• Fixes closed loop roads (by splitting into two segments with a joining junction)
• Terminates dead-ends with a junction
• Makes dead-ends two-way (only if both ends of the segment are visible)
• Sets the Type of a roundabouts using lowest of two highest rule and sets country/state if needed
• For UK sets Type of roundabouts using highest type excluding Freeway rule.
• Does a traditional 'qw' (clears reverse connectivity, and locks turns)
• Causes the turn arrows to refresh (the side effect of 's' but without the shifting).

Since you end up with the same turns restricted, that means you need to press 'w' if you really want all turns allowed. This is why it overloads 'q' instead of 'w'. Ultimately this will be a separate hotkey that's editable through WME's '?' interface.

JNF also:

• Saves the state of WME's ShowAllTurns, ShowTurns, and Full-screen mode across Refresh/F5/Permalink.
• Forces data model reload after successful save.

This has been tested only in Chrome; it has been reported to work in Firefox with GreaseMonkey.

Roundabout Angles and Landmark

by davipt

Roundabout Angles and Landmark is a script with two features:

• selecting a roundabout node, on the left side there is a button to automatically create a "junction" landmark around the landmark. Roundabout segments shall not have street name set, but the roundabout name should be added to this landmark in the middle, so the label appears horizontally.
• selecting a roundabout node, on the left side there is a button to create a temporary landmark in the form of a leaf, which will denote the approximate 90º, 180º and 270º range that Waze uses to switch from the "take the nth exit" to the "straight ahead/turn left/turn right" on roundabouts with two to four connections.

If the created landmark is not round, it means the roundabout has something screwed up, usually a reversed A->B segment, so it also helps ensuring proper roundabouts.

WME Roundabout Angles

By wlodek76 (PM), currently managed by FZ69617 (PM)

The WME Roundabout Angles script can help in designing normal roundabouts.

It draws angles for typical roundabouts and overlays a round helper line to adjust the geometry of a roundabout.

The script provides guidance based on the rules described in the roundabouts wiki page.

The original authorship of the script is by wlodek76, who decided to leave the Waze community (hopefully, not forever...). The rights for further maintenance of the script have been granted by the original author to FZ69617 (PM) (forum profile).

Brief instructions:

• Activate the script by enabling the "Roundabout Angles" layer in WME
• The default is inactive, therefore the script will always be off when you reload WME. It must be activated again each time its needed (after reloading WME).
• The script will automatically find all roundabouts visible on the map - pan and / or zoom the map, if it doesn't find them.
• Angles will only be displayed for roundabouts with four or less nodes. The other roundabouts will still display the round helper line in a slightly different color, together with a line to the first three nodes, but no angles will be displayed.

WME Aerial Shifter (WAS)

by byo; patched and packaged by berestovskyy

This script helps you adjust the position of underlying satellite imagery to work on road alignment inside WME. Generally the GPS points layer will be displayed on the map at a location parallel to the visual roadway. Adjust the setting until the GPS points are aligned with the visual map. Different sections of the map may or may not have this same amount of misalignment, so it is best to use this same technique in other areas before you use the same offset as a prior area.

Before downloading a new version, uninstall or disable all previous versions of this script. DOWNLOAD Waze Aerial Shifter version 1.3.2 (Oct 07, 2013):

• WAS.1.3.2.crx Crome CRX package.
• from userscripts.org.

Street to River PLUS

by EduardoCarvajal based on aeytom script

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 geometry of a new unsaved street to a river landmark. You can predefine the width and the name for the new landmark in the form of a special street name.

Mini how-to:

To add a new river:

• Install this script and go to WME.
• Draw a new street but do not save the street.
• Add and apply a street name to define the rivers name and width. This step is optional.

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'.

To expand an existing river:

• Draw a new Street that starts inside an existing river, but do not save the Street.
• Make sure that you see on map the begining of the Street (the instersection point of the street and the river)
• Select the helper Street.
• Click the "Street to river" button.
• Delete the helper Street.
• Edit the new landmark as you like.

Examples of rivers created by the script are Sixaola River and Telire River.

Multilingual interface: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, Hungarian and Czech.

WME center to begin-end of street

by tkr85

The script adds the ability to center the map at the beginning or end of the currently selected segment. The ends are selected with the A and B buttons. The script also remembers the last map position and zoom level before pressing either A or B. That feature is accessed with the return button. The X button will clear the last map position until A or B is pressed again (setting a new remembered map position).
