Waze Cartouche Full Screen Greasemonkey Script

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

I’ve put together a very simple script that will make the new Waze Cartouche (Papyrus) maximizes it’s screen usage. Now this may have some side effects so I’m not giving you any warranty on this script. It works for Chrome & Firefox (with Greasemonkey add-in) for me. If you want to leave any feedback please do so at userscripts.org, as I have disabled the comments on this post to keep all feedback in one place.
