HandyNotes
Handy Notes for your maps. This addon is intended to be a small and simple framework for showing notes on your map.
Use /handynotes to access options.
You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:
- Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
- Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
- Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.
HandyNotes supports plugins that other authors can write to display their own set of notes on the map. See this link for a list of such addons: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/search?search=handynotes
Edit: Blizzard have resolved the wonky map transform data at their end in Classic Mists.
For more general updates, which occur aplenty in WoW these days: For the most part you can just go in and update the relevant TOC files yourself. Very first line, update to the latest patch number. Easy as. For MoP beta, create a new TOC file and call it HandyNotes_Mists - just copy the HandyNotes_Cata file. Edit the first line to say 50500. Easy as.
Please Give us the Option to let us change they Keybind for the "Set Custom Mark". It interfers with TomTom and InGame Pin. Thank you.
Addon is causing micro-stutter.
Disabeling fixes it, enabeling and its back.
In reply to Azerox050: yep, exactly the same issue
In reply to kamigatu:
I have had that issue too but then some of my AddOns have thousands of pins!
I get around it in this order of effectiveness: (1) limiting the number of pins which will populate a CONTINENT. In the continent routine, which groups all the zone pins together, just show one or two indicative pins. Click on the zone and get all of the pins. (2) Limit the number of API calls inside the refresh routine. In fact some of my AddOns populate a lookup table so an API call need only be done once per pin per reload. (3) Use a built in delay of several seconds when updating the Minimap. (4) Couple of other minor efficiencies.
It's not so much a problem of HN, it's me just asking too much of it given that we should only be taking up a very thin slice of milliseconds when our AddOn gets its turn.
this add on needs to be up-to-date or make the others add on that relied on it independently its was good idea when it was updated regularly but now it's like a dam chore for this dude to do so or blizz need to adaped it into the game it self....
All the Handy Notes Add-ons are updated.... they have been for some time now. However, they will NOT work without this one. This is always the last add-on to update; eliminating the value of many great addd-ons. PLEASE UPDATE THIS ADD-ON.
I had to uninstall this addon after the weekly reset/patch on March 25th. Following the update, the addon began displaying icons for nearly every NPC in each zone, which was overwhelming and cluttered the map. I checked the settings thoroughly but couldn’t find an option to disable icons for standard NPCs—only settings related to rares or significant NPCs were available.
This behavior was not present before 3/25/25, and I hadn’t made any changes to the addon settings prior to logging in. I'm not sure if this issue is related to the Chrome King raid becoming available in LFG, but the change significantly impacted usability. Prior to this patch, the addon was excellent—now, unfortunately, it's made the map too cluttered to be functional.
Please update for version 11.1.0 Thanks. I find that the "Handy Notes" series of add-ons are the most use to me than any other add-ons. Bravo.
are you still alive xinhuan can you please update this app please ?

Hi,
Last night I was using the open settings panel under the Handynotes Icon on the map.
Now it's greyed out and I don't know why. I have searched everywhere for an answer
to no avail. Please help.
Thanks and thank you for this addon.
is there a way to use /hnnew and also choose what icon/title is added but use the current location as the coords?
