Street Vector Layer (SVL) The Road layer for the Waze editors, made by editors.
Current Waze road layer is generated on a Waze server and is just downloaded on the user's client. This work allows to generate a vector layer based on the Waze model. The layer is generated on the client side and therefore is fully customizable.
Pros:
- It's possible to customize it (color of the road, size of the road, ...)
- It keeps working if the tile server is down
- Saves bandwidth (I guess not much, but better than nothing).
- What you see is what you can edit. When the elements are loaded they are drawn. No more clicking on segments that can't be selected.
- You don't have to save to see the edit, segments are redrawn when you move/delete them (less confusion when deleting/moving segments).
- Tries to take the good things of the old and new layers and puts them together (mostly old colors for street, primary and highways and new colors for non-drivable/dirty/parking lot streets, plus restrictions and toll).
- Extra decorations for features which are not rendered on the standard layer.
Cons (so far): :(
- Makes your CPU work a little bit more
- Street names might overlap.
