CARTOGRAPHER IS OUT OF DATE ON WOWMATRIX.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Is the addon showing up as "Out of Date" and you're using Windows Vista?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

Something in the latest version here broke notes - I get all question marks and none of the icon packs load. I reverted back to the r2272 version and it's fine.

Is everyone still getting question marks for note icons? I had the Icon packs installed but none seem to work.

a little errata from me, apparently instance maps are working (except the mechanaar, which is weird...) only when look'n feel is disabled, when i re-enabled it, some of instance maps wont work... :/

@KoKeRs: Because everything that isn't a release is for alpha testing.
@MattOne83: I am unsure about this, since the SVN checkout of HEAD has everything as a sub-directory of Cartographer, but with the downloaded archive of HEAD, the module directories (Cartographer_Notes, etc.) are in path/to/wow/Interface/AddOns, and that seems to work properly.
