Kenya WMS Layers - Waze Map Editor Script

Simplify adding Kenya Web Map Service (WMS) layers to your Waze Map Editor (WME) environment.

Description

This userscript for the Waze Map Editor (WME) is designed to make it easy for mappers in Kenya to access and utilize various Kenya Web Map Service (WMS) layers directly within WME. Instead of manually searching for and configuring WMS URLs, this script pre-configures a collection of useful Kenya WMS layers, allowing you to quickly add them to your WME layers panel for enhanced mapping and referencing.

Key Benefits:

• Easy Access: Quickly add relevant Kenya WMS layers to WME with just a few clicks.

• Improved Mapping: Utilize authoritative geospatial data from Kenya sources to enhance your Waze map edits.
• Time Saving: Streamlines the process of integrating WMS layers, saving you valuable mapping time.
