HereBeDragons is a data API for the World of Warcraft mapping system
HereBeDragons offers a clean and modern API to retrieve the players position, calculate distances and angles between positions, both in global world coordinates and local zone coordinates. The primary goal of this library is to provide an up-to-date and low maintenance alternative to the legacy map libraries like Astrolabe and LibMapData, which both unfortunately are unmaintained and have their own issues due to changes in WoWs API.
On top of a clean API for all map math, HereBeDragons will also provide a second library, HereBeDragons-Pins, which replaces the world map and minimap pin management functionality of Astrolabe. This library is roughly based on the pin management code from GatherMate2, which has been thoroughly tested in years of use.

Basically what I'm wishing for is:
The first rule of Tautology Club is the first rule of Tautology Club.

You can just use UnitPosition, the x/y value it returns are the same as HBD:GetPlayerWorldPosition would give you.

burny_dd Sep 30, 2015 at 09:00 UTC - 0 likesThanks for the library. :-) I was waiting impatiently for LibMapData to update to get one of my addons running properly again.
The transition to HereBeDragons went smoothly. I'm just missing a query function to get the position for a valid unit string. So far you provide that only for the player with GetPlayerZonePosition() but I need party or raid units also. Any chance for adding this in the future?
