Cartographer
CARTOGRAPHER HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR 3.3!!!
DO NOT CREATE BUG REPORTS SAYING IT IS BROKEN!
There are no plans to do any major bug fixes for Cartographer (v2 or v3). If there is an update it will only be a minor fix. (It has already been this way since at least 2008.) Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite. Neither of the two main developers (Ckknight and Arrowmaster) have the time nor desire to do this currently. Occasionally a new version might be released to include fixes made by other developers or new versions of embedded libraries.
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).

I had that problem awhile back, go into the cart options and disable the advance coords. Sorry im not in-game right now to guide you through 100% but that should fix it.

Posted Nov 20, 2007I'm hoping others might be having the same problem I am. But when I installed the updated version of Cartographer, the mod just doesn't work. It shows up in the addons list, but when u view the map, the default blizzard map is all that shows. Any idea on how to fix this? I really love this mod and would hate to have to find another one just because of this.

I too have also had the same problem, as the fellow user above, and i cant seem to figure out why

Posted Nov 20, 2007Just had a couple Notes related questions as I'm trying to switch to Cartographer from the apparently dead Metamap. I managed to import my metamap notes by loading an out of date cartographer import module and I've noticed that any note I'm in range of shows up on the minimap. Is there a way to show only the activated waypoint note? Also metamap would show the note icon at the edge of the minmap if you weren't in range so you knew which way to go. Cartographer seems to just show it if I'm close enough though. Is there some way to get it to show at the edge if I'm out of range? I really don't want to have to use the waypoint arrow cluttering up my screen.

Posted Nov 19, 2007Does anyone know the name of the program that listed all the FlightPaths as blue dots and the quest ones as orange ones? Not sure if this one was it or not as I lost all my addons when I ran the repair file after my game crashed :-(

Posted Nov 19, 2007Is there a way to search Cartographer, like in Metamap? I often search a mob or npc, and set a waypoint to it... can you do that with Cart?

Posted Nov 18, 2007I had the same probs with 2.2.2 & the 2.2.2. addon release. (Its seemed the addon is not running).
However, the 2.3 and the 2.3 addon release solved my problems.
Now pls tell me, why instance maps (and loot) are not working for me? Did I miss something?

Posted Nov 18, 2007Anyone having trouble with changing the scale in look`n feel? When I try to change it from 100% to 60% and then reopen the map, it's back to the 100% scale.
However transparency etc works fine.
