Waze is a powerful navigation tool (see www.waze.com).
Collaborative edition of the Waze map is done by users with WME (Waze Map Editor).
For anybody checking a map, in the Waze editor (or any other GIS application), it may be useful to have references to external maps. However, this feature was removed by Waze in August 2014. The purpose of this semi-automatic link is only to let users improve their own knowledge of the maps, and is not intended to be used for copying information from one application to another.
TheBookmarklets here under give access to Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing Maps, the French Geoportail (Mostly useful in France), and Mappy (France Only). These short Javascripts are not foolproof and were only tested a few times in specific conditions and only on the Google Chrome and Firefox browsers for now.
