Cartographer 3.0

Table of Contents

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.

It's pretty. I'll give you that. But it is in no way as good as the old Cartographer.

The structure mirrors Carbonite. IE - Sleek, yet does not fit in with WoW's design at all. It is also very raw. You can simply drag the map to all the different zones...they're all pasted onto the same "mat", with the edges of this mat just kind of ending jaggedly.

The major drawback for me is that I can't quickly switch to any particular zone. The old Cartographer was a quick and simple point and click. Right click to switch zones/continents. In this version, you have to either drag the map around (both time-consuming and imprecise) or use the menu in the corner of the screen (also time-consuming).

It's a great effort, but I would label this as still in it's alpha stages rather than a beta (I'm assuming it's beta since the latest version is only 0.9). I'll stick with my previous Cartographer, thanks.

This is not working for me. I don't know why... It is in my addon's list but it's not showing up in the UI...

If you don't want to be called a liar you will explain how it works - I see no herbs at all the map. Therefore it doesn't work.

Ah, only if you let it replace the default map.

I like the idea and I like the way it works and looks, but as many stated, there are numerous addons that rely on classic map. Not only cartographer. And 3.0 effectively disables them all.

I don't know if it's possible to preserve old map addons functionality in 3.0. But is it possible to make 3.0 as an alternative map with it's own button and key binding without disabling classic map? So we can choose one or another?

I haven't commented on anything ever before, but I had to show my support considering the number or ppl who seem to whinge about this awesome mod. The fact that you can zoom in really close, move the map around etc is awesome, I tried using the old Cartographer because I wanted some add-ons, but I'd prefer to do without them and use this one. I can't believe ppl are writing thanks for the video so I know not to download. WTF is the point of that comment.. No one cares if you downloaded it or not. This mod is excellent, and if your running a decent computer, it should be fine, and will only get better as time goes on i'm sure. PLZ!!! Keep this alive, it rules!

I agree with you on every point.
However, this update seems to be one of those cases, where one either hate it or love it. Taking into account the absolute degree of coolness of this extension - it actually outperforms WoW's own interface by far - it's not that strange ;)

Cartographer Complete v4.6 adv

This is for anyone who still uses and wants this, since the Curse site seems to be trying to drop it.

Here's the old Curse link for it... but it does not seem to be working and they crossed out the name and the search feature does not work for it or find it. I had to use Google to find it on the Curse site.

Like I said I uploaded this to WoWInterface cause I know alot people still like this mod and want it.

I really like Cartographer3 over its predecessor, at least the "like Google Map" thing. Haven't use the Waypoints yet.

Suggestion/Question:
1) Any way to make the "show unexplored areas" color appear on the geographic map?
2) Could you make the Texture Change Zoom change by 2 decimals or maybe an edit field? Example: Far (100) - Near (001); then I can enter a field zoom of 050 or 50 before it changes. I think it is easier with a numeric value, there is an absolute point of reference for zoom change.
3) Similar to #2, the size of the map itself, say 100 pixels height and width. Leave the free-window-resize though for those who prefer that.

)

Especially now we'll have Explorer Achievements and titles.
And did you manually sized the two maps together? They fit very well, the ordinary map and the geographic map. Good job on that.

Anyway, I hope the suggested feature will be available soon. For now, I'll switch back to Cartographer2 coz I am working on my explorer achievement already :p

Thanks and keep it up!!

Why is anyone saying this add on is hard to use?

It rules!

I do agree that it needs to work with a few other add ons like Atlas and such! But I am sure you will get there.

Well done ckknight, love it!
