Cartographer

CARTOGRAPHER IS OUT OF DATE ON WOWMATRIX. ZONE INFO IS FIXED IN MOST RECENT VERSION ON CURSE.

Cartographer is a modular, lightweight, and efficient framework for manipulation of the world map. It is based on Rock and other libraries of the wowace community.

Battlegrounds : allows viewing of battlegrounds outside of the zone.
Coordinates : adds coordinates to the bottom of the world map of the player and the cursor.
Foglight : Shows unexplored areas on the map. replacement for MozzFullWorldMap or Unexplorer. Much more efficient, though.
Group Colors : turns all your party's and your raid's POIs into circles colored based on class, and shows a number on them based on their raid group.
Instance Maps : shows maps of instances.
Instance Notes : adds boss notes and such to instance maps.
Look 'n' Feel : allows you to change the transparency, position, and scale of the world map.
Notes : lets you put notes on the map, similar to MapNotes.
Zone Info : on hovering over a zone, it will show the levels of the zone, the instances in the zone, their levels, and the group size the instance is made for (e.g. 5-man, 40-man).

There is a new "experimental" version of Cartographer, called Cartographer3, at http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/12701/

If you are experiencing any issues

You play on a mac and the addon doesn't show up in-game This problem is generally being caused by unzippers on macintosh. You are supposed to put all folders inside the zip directly into your addon folder, not in a cartographer-vx.y.z subfolder! So if your paths are [...]/Interface/Addons/Cartographer and [...]/Interface/Addons/Cartographer_"modulename", it should work as expected :D.

Death Knights and Phased Content, Arrow not showing While you are in the starting area the content is instanced and you are, in fact, not in the "real" world of Azeroth. Once you go visit Stormwind / Orgrimmar as final part of the questline the arrow should work again as expected.

If you are having issues related to POI's (the blue dots) please back-up and delete or rename your WTF folder (or just the cartographer 'account' database, WTF\Account\"username"\SavedVariables\Cartographer.lua)

Is the addon showing up as "Out of Date" and you're using Windows Vista?

The addon directory seems to have been moved for people on Vista. Apparently it's in "C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft". If you update plugins in the old directory, it just plain won't notice! At all! And you'll get errors. Update it in the new location.

not sure if the problem im getting is a combination of mods or just cartographer, but with cartographer enabled when your inside of an instance ya can't click on your portrait or groups pics or use any other drop down menu type function, cuz it pops up then goes away instantly

Ok adding that i figured out its the silver dragon addon that is messed up i guess it dont like cartographer to much. ok /phew i almost thought i was gonna hafta live with out cartographer for awhile or just not do any instances

I was wondering if you were considering an update for questinfo? Since nobody has posted over on that mod's board in a while.

I'm having a problem, the guild positions module, doesn't seem to be doing anything, it's enabled, is there some limits to it that maybe i just don't realize?

The Cartographer Instance modules are causing all right clicking to become disabled while in most instances. Disabling the instance modules fixes the right clicking.

Hi, I have an issue where when I am in an instance, all the dropdown menus in the game do not work. As soon as I leave the instance, they work again. Any idea how to fix this? Seems to only happen when Cartographer is installed.

Thanks, BJR
