HandyNotes
Handy Notes for your maps. This addon is intended to be a small and simple framework for showing notes on your map.
Use /handynotes to access options.
You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:
- Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
- Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
- Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.
HandyNotes supports plugins that other authors can write to display their own set of notes on the map. See this link for a list of such addons: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/search?search=handynotes
Handynotes is an awesome addon with many extra parts. But this time around, I have the books and festivals NOT loaded in any form, and it shows the icons for them on all maps. How can I turn this off so it only shows when they are loaded? EDIT: I have not looked for the others, but Lunar Festival reports wrong elders at their locations, and it's pretty darn obvious. Wrong continents. Wrong elder at that location. But mostly how to turn off when not loaded.
Wrong information often.
I don't have flying in Draenor, i need 200 garrison resources. I just wasted half an hour - apparently not all notes have the correct description. Often its described if you need to fly or do something special in general to get to an item/objective. Thing is, for example they forgot to do that i Draenor Nagrand. Half the objects described by Handynotes is simply not good enough.
Result = wasted time, rage, misunderstandings.
Verdict = Not useable in some occasions.

hey, i have a question, so im new to WoW and i instalelled this addon to get some help on the map and stuff, but the addon for some reason doesnt work, it absolubtely does nothing, and i dont know what do do to fix it, any help?
Dependency missing is what curse client says just like on the dang map the quest helper of curse don't work any more got to use wow's shity map!
Have installed, uninstalled, re-installed this 4 times now. I don't have Carbonite. I know where to put add-ons, this isn't my first rodeo.
It's acting as if it's not there at all. I need this for the Draenor Treasures addon and would love to use it but IT WON'T INSTALL. Please help. There must be another bug going on.
@Nevcairiel
Well, that explains why I couldn't figure it out lol
how do i get it to show up on my map in the first place
@billtopia
Mapping to the world or cosmic maps is not supported, because there is no clear way to map coordinates between them and their continents.
When HandyNotes is installed, whenever i talked to a profession trainer the recipe list is empty and it will not remember any filter options i set, when i remove HandyNotes, the profession trainer started working again without needing me to manually check off all the filter options each time I talk to a profession trainer.
I have the exact same issue. Is there something I am missing like a setting somewhere or is this just a really messed up bug?
Addon would greatly benefit from the functionality of being able to add multiple notes at once such as: /hnnew x1,y1 x2,y2 x3,y3
Alot of times we are adding identical notes at different coordinates and doing the same note 30 times is just unnecessary torture.
Ever since 6.2.3, HandyNotes & HandyNotes_DraenorTreasures is causing my map to freeze (get stuck on a certain map), as well as keep my character location bar stuck in a specific area. It also randomly blacks out certain parts of the map and turns off fog of war, no matter which addon I have that removes the fog of war.
Does anyone know how to fix this, since this addon hasn't been updated in a while?
@billtopia
So, I got them to show on the continents, is there no way to get them to show on the world or cosmic maps? is it a different method? I see it does run the iter for the points when in world/cosmic, just none show up.
I have a perciluar problem here. The little blue arrow that shows rare elites is missing from my mini map on just one of my characters. I've tried deleting all addon config files in the WTF folder as well as my Cache and the addon itself and it still refuses to show me that blue arrow. I went to a completely different computer running handy notes and it too was missing the blue arrow. This is on a Death Knight if that makes a difference. Very frustrating because I've come to rely on that blue arrow! HELP!! lol
So, I was making a plugin for this to show dungeon locations on the map like carbonite and was wondering if you can make the points show on the world map instead of only the zone.
You have to update HandyNotes_Directions, as noted in replies to previous reports of this "error"!
Please update, got the same problem as Ringeltangel.
Hi,
Thank you very much for your nice addon, it's highly useful. Can you please consider adding the yellow and green node icons that you see on minimap for minerals-fish etc. (7th and 8th icons in the first row of this image: http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/wow.gamepedia.com/0/0e/OBJECTICONS.png). Your default icons are not nicely visible on the maps for me and the icons I mentioned will make it a lot more enjoyable to use your addon. Please consider :) Or if it is a simple file modification, please give instructions and I can do the change myself.
Thank you.
