CARTOGRAPHER IS OUT OF DATE ON WOWMATRIX.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Is the addon showing up as "Out of Date" and you're using Windows Vista?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

Right-clicks and clicks on the map don't work - you can't zoom out nor switch zones by clicking.

Is there any documentation available on the use of Cartographer? So far I haven't been able to find any instructions in the download.

Just had a quick qustion about using Cart. along with Gathermate and Handynotes. Assuming I use Gathermate for Gas/Herbs/Mining... and HandyNotes for trainers etc...Could I delete Cartographer_Notes and Cartographer_Professions (to save a bit of memory)? Im assuming the other two previously mentioned addons replace the functions of those 2 Cart. modules, but am not 100%, so wanted to check here first. Any helpis greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For those of you still looking for the old Cartographer_mining, Cartographer_herbalism addons (addons that show location of nodes and herbs) Search out GatherMate on wowace or go to the website below
http://www.wowace.com/projects/gathermate/
Itz by the same project leader as those addons hope that helps
Edit: You need to download GatherMate_Data and import the data into GatherMate for the locations of the minerals just incase somebody was wanderin why no nodes are showin at the beginnin.=O

(also posting this as a ticket)
r2281, updated standalone libs, USEng client/server (the issue was also present in r2277).
Cartographer_Notes is unable to make notes in Dalaran (new Northrend city) in either the main part or The Underbelly. CTRL-rightclick and the normal pop-up box ("Create a new note") does not appear at any time.
Can create notes properly in all other Northrend zones I've tried; only Dalaran has the issue.
