- app Model S User Interface waze
This is a great tool, thanks for doing this! One question/suggestion: Is there any way you could filter out the Hazards and show only Police, Accidents, and Construction? Along the Interstates (in my area anyway), there are dozens of Hazards reported, and most of them are simply cars stopped on the shoulder, which are not really much of a hazard IMO on a wide Interstate. It would be great to optionally declutter them from the screen with a toggle.
Thanks very much again.
Thanks very much again.
That has been my #1 feature request for the Waze app for years. The stopped car on the shoulder alerts are pretty much useless and just clutter up the interface. They did let you turn off the entire category a while back, but then that eliminates some useful ones (object in road, etc) as well as the noise. Its better than having to see them all, however.

Yes -- a larger font for the description and X should help. Its a very small target area right now...
I don't seem to be seeing the road color change for traffic on the waze app. Is it just me, are they actually changing but not noticeable?
While I like the idea of color changing, it needs to be prominent to be helpful, otherwise I think the original icons worked fine.

Good start.
missing indications for speed cameras?
I agree a fantastic effort! However, it would be great with speed camera support as they are becoming more and more numerous......

Just visit Maryland... there aren't any speed cams here, just a ton of revenue cams! Speed, red light, school zone (double fines). Even worse is Washington, DC where the target cameras are focused on Maryland and Virginia commuters.
In my prior car, I had permanently installed an Escort Premier cable and detector just for the cameras... loved it and it had a GPS so I could lock out the false signals in the city. The Tesla's coated wind shield limits the options to externally mounted sensors (or so I've read) so I have to be careful and run a little at risk. Extra careful with the P85D!
I've been using it all day in the car. Yes, it loads in the browser, but it's not like running the full app. Just maps and icons. It won't do much from your computer.

Looks good. how can you turn off "Following" after allowing the web app to follow the car? I want to try it, but not sure if i want it to always see my location, thus "unfollow" at desired times...

Still in love after all these miles
I've been using it for a couple of weeks and like it a lot. A few comments:
-I find the map to be too far zoomed out for me to see the rural routes I usually take. So it can be hard to tell where I am in relation to the enemy. Even when I zoom in. But I wear bifocals, which I am sure is part of the problem. Ahhh...age.
-The Tesla browser continues to be a slow dog and unresponsive when I tap on an icon to see if the enemy is hidden or not. Not the page's fault at all.
-The pop-ups for what kind of incident or enemy are small and hard to read while driving. Bifocals again.
That's about it. I love it and now find myself leaving that up on the display all the time when driving. It has proved to be pretty darn accurate so far.
Great effort and thanks to those who built it!

Hey all. One last thing: let make sure that we give reputation points for such a great job!

I love this specific contribution - as well as Tesla's allowance of this innovation. Kudos to the contributors. Of course the part of me that is slightly annoyed by a center console taken up to two roughly identical maps (nav and this browser/incident map) makes we want for another button like the traffic and satellite buttons on the nav screen allowing Waze incident reporting. Since Google bought Waze, I would think this would be easy to do. Until then, I'll be driving around with 2 maps on my console...
Great contribution!
I hope we eventually can get Waze routing in the console too (not sure the nav uses all the waze-originated features now available in google maps routing)
