Cartographer 3.0
This is a map addon for World of Warcraft that replaces the map and offers shiny features.
The idea is for it to work very much like Google Maps, only in-game.
Cartographer 3.0 is brand new, "experimental" version of Cartographer.

RE: CARBONITE QUEST
IMO, carbonite wins for questing, much better objective management, AND it has used a Googlemaps-style interface for quite some time. I think they deserve more credit than a buggy pre-release here.
I still use the old cartographer for mining, and I'm sure this version will come to fruition, but man, Give Carbo some credit, ya herd?
Why does the entry keep saying this has been updated when it hasn't?
right now it would seem there is a bug within Curse so that when anyone posts a comment the addon itself shows as updated. So unfortunately, unless they fixed it, it will show updated after this as well.
brilliant in itself..great idea. but yeah as mentioned there's some flaws in working it out, mainly
-instance maps (more particularly bg maps)
-cant read thunder bluff's map. when you zoom in further it goes detailed, but then you cant read the bluff names anymore.
-takes a bit too much fps. the lag in shattrath is as amazing as the zoom function.
-exit the map with the escape button. would be a really simple addition but I really miss it.
as for the fps, I suppose to keep that down you removed the instancemaps and bgmaps..now I dont mind too much about the instancemaps, but I feel rather lost in the bg's without a map to see where everyone is. there are other addons that supply instancemaps (atlas) so that's not too much of a problem. having no bg maps is.
I can also live with not being able to make notes on this version. being able to zoom in so far you can see what building your guildies are in makes it totally worth it, but until you've added bg maps, I'm staying on the previous version.
isnt it possible to throttle the fps usage a bit? I did notice you're using a bit of code for that..cant it be edited to do nothing until one opens the worldmap? and then when you do open the worldmap, just show a zoomed out map of the zone.
coz the player localisation isnt too brilliant..well it is for finding guildies, but half the time the map doesnt follow the player around properly. like after a CoT run I'd hearthstoned out to shattrath, looked on the map and it was still zoomed in on tanaris. then I had to zoom out, and specifically zoom in on shattrath to find myself again.
in short, nice, but until the points mentioned above are fixed, I'm using the previous cartographer.
Wasn't too impressed with this "version 3.0." The zooming in and out didn't seem to work very well and it seemed to take more of a toll than usual on my FPS.
Thanks, but I'll stick to the regular Cartographer.
when i try to use Cartographer 3 i get this error when i log in:
Error: attempt to index a local 'name' (a nil value)
AddOn: Cartographer 3
File: Cartographer.lua
Line: 168
Count: 1
and when i proceed to try to open my world map i get:
Error: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'centerY' (a nil value)
File: Interface\FrameXML\WorldMapFrame.lua
Line: 416
Count: Infinite
that error only happens when Cartographer 3 is enabled
any help as to fixing this problem would be much appreciated
Change strata maby?
Text from your own Pitbull unitframes shines through this map :)
I realy like it, but it doesnt seem to work in BattleGrounds. Also, i miss the /waypoint feature, I used it a lot.
Back to the old trusted cartographer for me.
nice video, but screenshots will be good too, gief them
Can you make this work with MobMap.de? I have come to the conclusion that this, plus questhelper, plus mobmap are the most useful addons for leveling... but it doesn't work with mobmap, as there is no way to turn off the overlay.

And sry 4 my bad grammer.. im german and my english is not the best but i hope ure able to understand what i'm trying to tell u :)
Sincerly yours

hi :)
I have small problem in all cartographer addons so when I login to game in guild chat I see sometimes that: http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7034/wowscrnshot052308214023xf0.jpg
and this is very disturb :( pls help me because i dont know what I must do this
Seems a WIM error tbh. Try updating WIM, it might help (www.wimaddon.com)
Not sure what is going on but I have downloaded twice since yesterday and have not seen any changes to the mod or the files. Has anyone received the updated version?
Nice idea. Needs more work thought. I love the true map from the mini-map i've always wanted to see that in a map mod.
1. Clean it up. The true maps are choppy in places.
2. Think about how people wont want to zoom around all the time. Its great for checking routes.
3. Get it to work with QuestHelper.

something is going wrong...
Getting Disconected when I use this addon and fly over the scryer quarter. When I deactivate this addon I dont get this disconnect. Further doesnt give this addone me any lagg, so it wont be a memory issue.
Great mod - I too am having lag problems.
Sometimes members of my guild are on the map and sometimes not.
How can I get it to show them 100% of the time?
