GatherMate2
GatherMate2 is an addon to collect and track herbs, mines, fishing pools, gas clouds, archaelogy finds and treasures, and displays them on the world map and the mini map.
This is the Retail version of GatherMate2, the version for WoW Classic can be found here
GatherMate will remember the location of every herb you pick or every ore you mine, so that you can easily find the positions of the herbs and mines again. Once you come into range of a recorded spot, GatherMate will show an icon representing the type of herb/ore/fish/etc. on your mini map, directly allowing you to decide if its worth checking out. Additionally, all spots are shown on the World Map, to ease navigation to certain types of nodes and making gathering more fun.
To give you a head start, GatherMate2 also offers a pre-filled data module, so you don't need to discover all herbs and mines yourself, but instead can just start gathering right away. Simply install GatherMate2_Data and hit a few buttons to import all the provided data, and you're good to go.

Video about configuring this addon.
Usage
Using GatherMate2 is straight-forward.
After the installation, GatherMate2 is automatically active and collecting data.
You can configure which data should be shown on the World Map or MiniMap in the Configuration Dialog, which can be accessed either via the /gathermate slash command or be found in the Interface options in the WoW Menu.
Localization (Translation of Nodes)
GatherMate2 relies on the node names to be translated in all languages WoW supports. You can contribute additional translations for your language here using the Localization tool:
https://www.wowace.com/projects/gathermate2/localization
Any translations submitted through that tool will be automatically included in the next release.
GatherMate2_Data
GatherMate2_Data has been updated with all fresh data from Wowhead, including support for Shadowlands, and will be continously updated throughout the coming expansion.
If you are looking for a pre-filled database for GatherMate2, get GatherMate2_Data here:
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/gathermate2_data
It's scary how out of date the database is that they recommend. What a waste of time...when was the last time you updated GatherMate2_Data? Like 5 years ago?? I'm spending a third of my time in Felwood getting stupid Golden Sansam that are not part of this database when all I want is Gromsblood.
My database after an hour is way better than that piece of junk. My god, update your junk or remove the link, it's ridiculous.
The lastest version of GatherMate2_Data is v29.4 which was released on Dec 13, 2015, a little over 8 months ago! If you have a version that's 5 years old then you must have downloaded the wrong version! Or maybe you failed to actually import the data?
Nobody is forcing you to use this, or any other addon. All these addons are provided completely free of charge. If you don't like it, or aren't happy with it, then you can simply choose to uninstall and either find an alternative or do without!
I have a question,
I use Carbonate for maps your add on puts marks where i find minerals on the large map but not on the mini map. Does this make any since?
I've observed that Gathermate isn't recognizing the key binding to toggle on and off the icons on the main map.
To test this, I disabled all other addons and bound the key for toggling the minimap icons to num pad 1 and bound the key for toggling the main map icons to num pad 2.
The minimap icons toggle, but the main map icons do not. Can you please look into this. When I'm not on a gather run, I really would prefer to hide all the clutter caused by the resource icons. They are all over Tanaan Jungle which is the zone I'm in a lot lately.
Question/Suggestion:
Would it be possible (maybe the Lua code won't allow it) to add a convenient way to toggle the map icons on/off?
The ore/herb nodes are so thick in some zones that I literally cannot find what I'm looking for because the node icons are covering up important information. Like, node icons in many zones almost completely hide the text names of locations.
It would be handy if I could, from the main map, uncheck a box or something to momentarily hide GatherMate's icons, then turn them back on once I've found what I'm looking for.
I went with a Char having herbalist and Platas is getting usually marked on the map and minimap. Only Ores which is not. I did loguin on another computer where you have the add-on and also does not mark the mines.
So I think that is a problem in the add-on. Await response.
Thank you so much.
(comment Previous) I'm not showing this by mining and the icons of ores / plants that I've got. Can someone help me?
I've been in the settings and this marked the option to appear on the world map and minimap.
Gatherer archaeology had a feature where your node icons changed color (green, yellow, red) based on the distance... which of course corresponded to the archaeology survey scope. I just switched over from Gatherer, this would be AWESOME if we had this...!!!
the options to only show nodes when you have the profession don't work.
archaeology too. the only active sites dont work.
its always show everywhere ornot at all.
It would be awesome if the world map's icon alpha and minimap's icon alpha were separate. That's my one request. And that GatherMate2_Data stays updated for Legion!! :)
Great addon. Thanks for your hard work.
GetMapLandmarkInfo has a new return value landmarkType.
Please fix it.

Bodar
Would it be possible to color archaeology nodes by distance Green / Yellow / Red on the minimap?
Is there a HUD available for this like Gatherer, which is now abandonded?
Hello !
Is it possible to have another option to set transparency separately for map and minimap and another one to set thickness monitoring circles, please! Because I've some vision disorder, Thank's !
/gathermate isn't bringing up the addon at all. I've installed it 3x and loaded into the game with only gathermate enabled, so I know it's not in conflict with any other addOns. it also isnt showing up under the Interface menu. Load outdated addOns is also checked, just in case. I'm at a loss.
are there any plans currently to get GatherMate2_Data up and running again?
thanks

Hey, there is a typo in the Constants.lua from version 1.35.6-4-g1246b72
Line 381 is " [254] = {[253]=true} -- rich leystone deposit" but it should be " [254] = {[253]=true}, -- rich leystone deposit". There is a "," missing which causes a LUA-Error on load. :)
Thanks for posting this. Hotfixed it on my local copy :)
This wasn't working on Legion beta so I made a very rough update to get it to work.
English client only and tracking is implemented only for Herbalism and Mining. Using old icons when shown on the map, so they do not match the Legion gathering materials.

I have an addon called datastore. Does your database work with it. Just wondering because not all of the functions of your addon are working for me.
Specifically the treasure nodes in Tanaan Jungle do not light up at all if there is something in them and I have to search for new nodes.
