TeslaWaze updates (was: TeslaWaze is Done!)

[Duke-U]

Seems Tesla Waze is more stable on V.9 (42.2). The polling routine seem to pick it up again after some wait time.
If it hangs, I start Tesl Wind, let it run for a minute and switch back. Cures it most of the times. But since today on 42.2 my 2 hr weekly drive did not needed that.

Is there a way to set heading up in the Teslawaze site?

So glad I found your app, next best thing to having straight Waze integration with the Tesla UI!

No, the Tesla browser does not support WebGL.

It's been working well since firmware upgraded to version 9 (2018.42.2. It hasn't hung so far even once.

Eric, Thanks for all you do!

@ericwol - given the hopeless performance of the browser, as a suggestion could you offer the ability to directly select the zoom level?

I was thinking either an additional button next to the +/- zoom button that would open a zoom slider/bar (that you could tap on) to choose a zoom level directly and/or the ability to long press a point on the map and get the bar that the map would zoom and center on the clicked point on the map.
This way we could just center and zoom to the point on the map of interest in one go rather than having to zoom and pan and wait endlessly for the browser to refresh. Less load on your servers too

and as we all keep saying - thanks always for all the work you do.
It's all the more valuable since Tesla screwed up their own maps by removing the free flowing traffic info (green lines) in V9.

@ericwol thank you for your efforts with Tesla waze. I’ve just started using it and noticed a lot of the speed camera locations are wrong (I’m in the U.K.). Are you caching the speed camera locations?

I compared with the waze app and Tesla waze alerted to speed cameras when waze didn’t show any.

Thanks for supplying the service!

Yes, it's a separate database. You can send a report thru the app of the camera was removed.

You mean the Waze app?
That’s the thing, there’s cameras that are no longer showing in the Waze app but are showing on Tesla Waze.

No the Tesla App

No, the Tesla browser does not support WebGL.

Which is, if you think about it, a little bonkers, since it runs *only* on CPUs which have integrated GPU.

 

[Dazboj]

No the Tesla App

How?
When it pops up with the speed camera alert, pressing it dismisses it.

Thanks, I didn't notice that option before. Is it not better that you pull the speed cameras from waze the same way you do with the police data?

If you know how to do that, please let me know.

 

[PhilDavid]

Is there a way to use this with the actual Waze database?

 

[DCEV]

Are there any Android Apps that use Waze data to just beep or make a sound when approaching a speed camera? My biggest issue with Waze is that it seems to warn of speed cameras only if I'm exceeding speed limit but my speed changes based on the circumstances so I would prefer to always know when there is a speed camera ahead with an audible warning.

 

[WannabeOwner]

Waze is that it seems to warn of speed cameras

Separate problem for me is that Waze (on my phone) warns of speed cameras at far too short a distance (e.g. for laser detectors). I periodically press the bottom of map to see the "trip overview" and check if there is a blue Police icon anytime soon. Doesn't stop a new one being added a moment later of course, but gives me an idea if I am approaching any

 

[DCEV]

I just wish I got a 30 second warning before approaching ANY upcoming speed camera whenever I drove.

Is there no way to do this?

Tesla is updating its in-car internet browser with Google’s Chromium, says Elon Musk

I wonder if TeslaWaze will still run on the new browser?
