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.

Eh, to be honest, I don't like it nearly as much as the old Cartographer. The new Waypoint arrow is just odd. The old one fit well with WoW's art and such, much preferred it. Also, I like my map being a single zone map, not a sattelite view. It's just more comfortable, the old version. Please, if you insist to work on Cartographer 3, please update and repair Cartographer, still.
LATER: I really wish that ckknight would check the old Cartographer tickets. Some people are having errors and stuff, including me, and no one's helping. I had posted a ticket weeks ago, and I'm getting a little impatient, for good reason.
I am sorry, but the look and feel of the map is vastly inferior to the old Cartographer. I cannot add something more constructive, this improvement is unfortunately rather a downgrade.
Very good, I like this version most.
Please fix the waypoints because they are useful.
@prettyxemo1: nope there isn't
Is there a way you can right click and zoom out and choose which continent you want to zoom in on? I liked how with the old cartographer you could just right click and it zoom out without all the complications of having to click and dragg everywhere you want to go.
Great job with Cart 3. It's pretty much complete for me as is and I can't wait to see what else you add to it. One request if I may. A Waypoint Arrow Visibility Toggle command or keybinding, so that we can turn it on when we need it and off when we don't to save space on the screen. That is all.
Whether or not this gets added, excellent work and thanks for providing such a quality addon.
Guys, it's BETA. Give the guy some time to finish it before you rip it apart. Good suggestions are one thing, but ripping the map is another.
Is it possible to create many notes by editing the lua file with a text editor? The format seems to be like xy and then there's a number but I don;t know what it is used for. Any help?
does this work on the beta?
I gotta say, doing an approach so similar to Carbonite Quest is pretty remarkable, but I prefer the original Cartographer more, to be honest. It works, and really works well. I use it in tandem with a lot of other mods and I think it simply outperforms Cartographer3. To be fair, what I don't like about Carbonite Quest is not included in Cartographer3, but you need to include a lot more like what is available with Cartographer: Gather tracking, editing positions of map by manually entering coordinates and many other valuable additions. I understand this is probably in the works, but it's a lot that I appreciate of the original to give it up.
Great job on coming out with this, but it does need a bit of work. (Waypoint arrow was a definate turn-off, but I'm confident you'll get that sorted out)
To be fair to the author of this mod - The basic Cartographer is just a map - everything else you're talking about (such as gathering tracking) would be more like plugins. If they get the basic map addon nice and function (and remember, this isn't the final release) then you focus on stuff like gather tracking etc.
I agree with the users regarding the map..it was better in the older version. I do like the zooming in and out and being able to resize the window making it transparent, etc. It helps when i want to make sure I am going in the right direction. I can just resize the map to a smaller size then continue down the path and see my icon moving on the map as well.
WOW whats wrong with just a map?...old cartographer was much better than this box within a box within an empty box with an arrow on a blank map...too bad we lost a great map addon.
Map position doesn't save. it opens in the middle of the screen every time. Could you add that option please?
Arrow still appears as the box and now the waypoint is flickering constantly.
Any chance you can add a hotkey for full screen map? Or is there and I missed it?
I like the idea very much. Makes navigation much simpler. However I have same problem with quest helper. Arrow turns into the checker box. Also we lost quest helper configuration button that used to be on the map bar.
DON'T like the new map ... the old one may not have been quite as fancy, but it was super quick and easy to use. You cannot beat the old map for quick use - s'pecially in BG's.
Bring back the old map!!! Just my two cents ... Lyphe
Ok, I take back my original suggestion of making an option for minimap only. Just played a bit with Questhelper, and works flawlessly. So, modifying my suggesion, can you make a nice minimap addition that has the same functionality of the main map. Would be a great addition to have the carbonite/google type minimap as well.
really having trouble with the waypoints!!!
please fix!!!
everything else good!
thx
whenever i do it on all the difrent addons it sais that FAILED TO CONNECT TO PREVIOUS INSTANCE [ERROR 00000000] any one know how to get around this.
