For the past few WoW releases (2.4.0 to 2.4.3; not sure about earlier, as I wasn't playing then), Cartographer appears to occasionally lose note data on the map; by "lose" I mean the X/Y coordinates of the notes appear to get corrupted, and the note ends up showing up at the wrong place.

All of my notes are populated by talking to guards and asking for locations of things. After a couple days, I'll find notes which were previously at the correct place now at some other random spot on the map. The only solution is to delete the note and re-add it correctly (until the error happens again, lather rinse repeat).

Secondly, something that has annoyed me for quite some time about Cartographer's Foglight function: if you open your map, click on the Cartographer button, go to Foglight, and start adjusting the R/G/B and luminance attributes, the map will end up coming to the foreground, and you have absolutely no way to go back to the Cartographer configuration menu. This makes adjusting the colour of the Foglight a real pain in the ass; you have to fight with the map coming to the foreground constantly.

Finally, why can't addon authors use the built-in WoW interface addons tab for things? Hit Escape, go to Interface -- note the Addons tab! Start putting your configuration crap there, allowing for everything to be in a central place, and consistent. Stop with the custom configuration menus and dialog boxes that look like they were developed by 16 year olds with ADHD. If you want an example Addon that does it correctly, look at BankItems.

I also have a question dealing with the cartographer/mining nodes/herbalism nodes spawning area. tperhai said that you must download GatherMate to go with that or dpwnload the "Complete Cartographer." I still am not understanding what to do. I've looked up GatherMate and canno figure it out. Help me anyone?

Getting this error and no trainers on map:

[2008/07/12 23:31:53-1537-x1]: Cartographer_Trainers-1.0\addon.lua:5: Cannot find a library instance of Babble-Tradeskill-2.2.
Ace2\AceLibrary\AceLibrary.lua:490: in function `AceLibrary'
Cartographer_Trainers-1.0\addon.lua:5: in main chunk

How do I get wow to realize that I installed add-ons for the cartographer?

Where does one get the Icon packs from?

Is there any way to show my location on the map while in an instance? Mine does not. Just wondering if its supposed to and if you can configure it to do so.

I've been using the add-on for ages but no mining nodes are being shown on my map.
And I know that they only appear after you have found the nodes and used them.
But after mining still nothing new on my maps.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Add-ons I'm running:

Cartographer
Auctioneer Advance Suite
Quest Helper
WoWhead Looter

I've got the same problem. Maybe we should clear out our Saved Variables or something?

ummmm idk if this is the add-on im looking for or not, but how do u get the minerals (iron deposits n stuff) to show up on the map (not the mini-map). if this is not the add-on plz message me what the add-on is called for that.

The AddOn is awesome. Just one question however, am I not able to type in something like "/coords x,y" to pinpoint exactly where that spot is on the map/minimap, or do I need a different Add-on to do that?

Use "/way 15.25 65.23" for that function.

i got this bug when i klick on a instance nofing happens

Hello, how about plans on Russian localization (ruRU)?

yeah please! currently with LanguagePack ruRU - Cartographer does not work at all ..

hey i st recently downloaded this addon and it works fine but after i loged back in i couldnt see any chat like guild chat or private or anything and i dont know why does anyone no how to fix it or what happend.

I keep having errors with my waypoints. They will appear too large and not where I set them. It won't let me move them either. I'll click on it and attempt to drag it somewhere else and it snaps back to it's original position.

I just updated this yesterday and it does not stop having errors regarding some Library that I don't have. I downloaded and installed about 5 of them (each time only doing 1 at a time because that's all it would notify me of upon log in) before saying screw it because it had wasted enough time already. I downloaded from Wowace.

I can't get the herbalism tracker to work. where do I find the file "Cartographer_Herbalism"?
