This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).

Thank you so much for getting this addon working again, seems to work ok now.
I would like to ask though, there was a feature i paticually liked from previous versions called hotspot i think, its the one which put a map up with increased transparency when you mouse over the worldmap icon next to the minimap. Is this still in there somewhere as i cant find it? if not, any chance of ressurecting this feature as it was very handy to look at the map breifly like in battlegrounds?

Guys, for what it's worth I got got my cartographer working with r2264 which you can get at http://www.wowace.com/projects/cartographer/files/ (as mentioned below you MUST be logged in to see the real download link). Now once I downloaded this I tested my right and left click and they STILL did not work properly I couldn't zoom in at all on left click and right click on worked one level it seemed.

I finally figured out the problem when I noticed some of the characters I hadn't logged into in a long time the left/right click worked fine. For ME the problem was a file called config-cache.wtf. I am guessing there is a setting in there that isn't compatible with 3.0.2 Anyway I simply deleted the files and started up wow and it WORKED right/left click perfect. The file is located in <WOW_DIR>/WTF/Account/<USER>/<SERVER>/<CHARNAME>/config-cache.wtf you will likely have to remove this file for all the characters that you are having issues with. Good luck, and MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP the files before you change them (ie zip your WTF directory) as i don't know what affect it may have on your addons.

Cartographer 3 is prettyer faster and slicker, and does it all at half the memory size. I don't get the resistance. Evolve already you dinosaurs

Is this last (2.3) update a "fans update" or an original author update?

The alternative addons listed above work well... except for Instance Maps. It throws an error every time I open my map. Otherwise, you'd think you were running this version of Cartographer.

i'm downloading the latest version but when i go to my map, i still get the default map. Am i missing some kind of library to get cartographer to work, or what? I don't get it. I really prefer 2.0 over 3.0 b/c 3.0 still needs a lot of work, but it's going to be bad ass when it's all good and ready, but right now it's far from being good and ready to use.
edit: NEVERMIND, i'm a noob and forgot to enable all the other plugins for it :) but yeah, newest versions are working.

If that's the case I do not understand your position in this matter.

My position is that I am a project moderator on WowAce and CurseForge. Former unofficial maintainer of Cartographer2 (only on WowAce, never tried to push a release to a release site, and before you say anything this situation is completely different). And I help on many core WowAce projects in fixing bugs and other such stuff.

So far I don't think I've done any work on Cartographer3 except for maybe reporting a bug or two when I tried it out. In fact I don't even use it.

Yes you can download, but we can't upload any new versions anymore. Version 2264 fixes a few bugs in the POI system (Thanks AbydosLanti), I got that in before things went wrong.
