Recently a change to Live Map introduced an overlay and call to action footer with information on how to download the Waze app when the URL contains a permalink to a location.

While this is great for users that have not yet been introduced to Waze, map editors do not need to see it every time they open Live Map from within WME. Fortunately, if the following query string parameters are appended to the URL, both the overlay and call to action are suppressed:

CODE: SELECT ALL
&overlay=false&cta=false

The difference is:
Without overlay suppression: https://beta.waze.com/livemap?lon=-73.9 ... 95&zoom=14
With overlay suppression: https://beta.waze.com/livemap?lon=-73.9 ... &cta=false

Would you consider adding this to the Live Map link in the lower right hand corner of WME?

Also as a link to the location of edits in Live Map is also provided in the Editor Profile under Recent Edits (https://www.waze.com/user/editor/Joyriding) it would be appreciated if that URL could be updated as well.

Alternatively, a compromise could be only displaying the overlay once every X days, but would require a change to Live Map.

Thank you.
