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CARTOGRAPHER IS OUT OF DATE ON WOWMATRIX.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Is the addon showing up as "Out of Date" and you're using Windows Vista?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.

EthanCentaurai & stanzilla (the last 2 comitters), this mod is _not_ ready for WoW 3.x. A giant ton of errors still with v2.2.

Check the second post and below on the following page:

Any good reason why the "default" modules were removed from inside the main addon folder? Was this due to 3.0 changes or some such?

Hye Hungerer ...You think maybe these guys are so busy trying too get all the mods you use up and running that they can't respond to all the feedback at this time. Be patient man...they are working on them.

I think the place to post is not here, but in the forum. Even if the author is not there, others can likely help. Too bad the forums are completely FUBAR right now and I can't find anything.
Why is there no link tot he Cartographer forum from this page (or to any addon's forum from its page)?

The creator of this addon doesn't seem to be paying any attention to the tickets for it. I could really use help with my text error, and it's been weeks since I posted the ticket. Getting a little impatient.

Having some problems with this addon, but the creator doesn't seem to be noticing the tickets. I could really use the help, and it's been weeks.
