View Waze Incidents on the Tesla browser

Eric - Another thanks to you - you saved me from an embarrassing fail!
Driving from San Fran to PDX, I would have run out of juice well before the charger due to the 20mph headwind, but you alerted me in time to add another 20% charge at previous charger!

How does the wind indicator work? Pulled up in my house and says we have 9mph winds, but it looks dead calm. Is it showing peak gusts or an average over some period of time? Looks very useful, but trying to understand the implications

Ps. Great web app

the readings are taken from a weather station near your location, while it might be calm at your home a bit away it could be quite windy.

The weather comes from here: Сurrent weather and forecast- OpenWeatherMap

The weather station location is displayed under the wind speed.

Love the app. Use it every day. Thanks @ericwol !

Long time user of excelsis waze web site previously and was using v2, up until seeing this thread again recently.

The updates are great, the map hazard icons with additional context are wonderful.
Wind speed and elevation are working too. Direction arrow for wind is genius for understanding additional implications on range (and will stop me flicking between waze and energy slope estimated vs actual).
Like that toll information is there for us dealing with the HOT lanes.

Love the concept of visualization of the prime hangouts for money collection/tickets.

I can't get weather overlay to work, despite enabling it on bottom right.

Would love to see the integration of this and abetterrouteplanner - then this stays up all the time.

Great work. Thanks @ericwol

Police Traps
I have collected 2.6 million reported police locations across north america over the last 6 months. With this data set, I implemented a machine learning algorithm to identify density based clusters of reported locations. These high enforcement areas are now overlayed on the map. I have also started to collect data for western Europe and will add these locations in the future as well.

High enforcement zones will show up as red shaded areas on the map.

Waze Western Europe Proxy
I have deployed a proxy waze server in western Europe. In the past, users in Europe would have to poll data from a server on the west cost of the US. This reduces the update time from 3-4 seconds to a few 100 milliseconds.

Camera Notifications
I tried to make the pop up notifications work better based on current speed. The 30 second location poll imposed by Tesla browser kind of makes this a crappy experience.

Bug Fixes
Fixed a handful of bugs that you may or may not notice.

@ericwol - Can I suggest adding a link to the site in your signature?

Wish they fully integrated into the Tesla Google Maps... this update is great, but Tesla should just add it..

Police Traps

@ericwol Thanks for your good work! This enforcement info will be very helpful. Of course, not that I speed. But a reminder to check.

Suggestion--Is it possible to make the hot zone more translucent and with an on/off toggle? It's a good feature. Thank you. My main routes apparently are almost one long continuous police trap. Truly they are. This new feature, however, will be excellent for long-haul trips.

You can disable it in the settings dialog.

Thank you for your patience, good sir.

Fabulous !!!

Thanks for all your hard work!

Can't wait to see what you add next.

Anyone interested in location sharing? Like integrating with glympse.com?

I share my location today but use either Waze or send a Apple Maps pin on my iPhone so yeah that would be a cool feature if you can pick a contact from the Tesla app and easily send.

 

[Austral]

No sharing for me please.

Eric, thanks! This is a great product.

My last job included designing and testing military/combat aircraft avionics (active duty, so I flew with them as well), with much of that time spent on navigation/moving map UIs. I am a huge fan of data "fusion" and your app does an excellent job of providing the right information in a clean manner. I love the interface and the personalization options. I'm torn, because I want your app to be successful, but I do with Tesla would implement a lot of your features on future software versions for the organic map display.

If I can think of anything else I'd like to see I'll let you know, but thanks again for your work!

Also, FWIW, the enforcement zones on the map are very accurate for the areas of DC that I drive on a daily basis.

one issue I have is that around where I drive there are numerous red light cameras, the warnings seem to come way too late or after I am past them, can the warning distances be adjusted?
and I have a question about the red 'checkered' markings I now see what are they meant to warn me about?
