This repository contains a javascript plugin for the Waze Map Editor that allows to find permanently closed places in a given area.
This plugin also lists every place in the current map editor view and allows for filtering of places by category.
✅Please check out the greasyfork link to see the latest code instead of this repository.
To use this script, you must:
- Install the tampermonkey extension
- Download this script over at greasyfork
- Head to the waze map editor and login with your waze account
- If tampermonkey loaded the script, you should see a message box asking you for your google places api key.
- Head to the sidebar on the left and go to the scripts page
Places > Public
in the waze map layers and before enabling the plugin, you should zoom enough on the map to see marker points appear.
-
Nearby Search radius
defines the radius used to address the imprecision of coordinates when transitioning between Waze and Google Maps. For cities, a lower value may be suitable -
show residential places
is to show residential addresses (i.e houses) -
show areas
is to show the pink areas details in the table view (contain multiple coordinates) -
show closed places
is to highlight in red every permanently closed place in the table (can also filter by category 'CLOSED') -
show overlays on map
is to add an overlay on the marker elements on the map view (experimental, see section below)- red: indicates confirmed business closure
- orange: indicates data mismatch between waze and google maps (see developer console)
-
Filter By Category
is to filter table entries by a certain category- Note: filtering before showing closed places only sends google place requests for the elements displayed on the table
-
Clicking on an entry name in the table will highlight the corresponding marker or area on the map (can be nonvisible because out of view)
- clicking/hovering on the highlighted marker or area will restore it's highlighting
- When enabling the
show overlays on map
feature- Avoid zooming because this will displace the circle overlays and misalign them with the actual markers
- If the overlays are over the marker point and you can't select the markers, try toggling the sidebar
- Keep some feature points on map even after de-zoom
