ya cartographer 3.0 is still having issues with zooming in on a town, when it gets close the map turns completly aqua color. And it does not display a map when in a instance or at least the map for that instance it just shows the regular world map.

I hope these issues get resolved soon as this is a awsome mod.

But I also use Cartographer, so im not sure if they conflict each other or what, i wouldn't think so but any info to this or a updated cartographer 3.0 from ckknight would be greatly appreciated seems how both mods are his lol.

Welcome to 6 months ago!

This is a great addon that I've used for some time, but it's having issues with the patch.

I'm sure the bugs are being worked out.

Don't knock it until you've REALLY seen it.

Frankly, it's better broken than others at their best!

Thanks for a great addon, I look forward to an update.

I used the icons prior to the patch, so I'm guessing they'll work when Cart is updated.

qst hlpr works fine for me with it, you can read my only problem below.

But when i did install all the mods for the blizz update i did delete everything in my mod folder and all my .lua's in the WTF folder. Only downside to that is that you have to reconfigure all your mods and UI again.

Hi all,

I've never used the earlier version but I love Cartographer 3. Unfortunately, since Blizzards update it doesn't want to work for me. I installed the .10 update but maps are blank, I can't zoom and the 'open configuration' button doesn't work.

I'm running XP SP3 on a high-end system with lots of memory.

I've disabled the other addon I was running, Questhelper, which I also love.

Any ideas??

I can't get the configuration menu to open. The error I get when I try to open the configuration menu is:
Error: attempt to call global 'InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame' (a nil value)
File: Interface\AddOns\Cartographer3\Main.lua
Line: 2286

I really like this add-on in general, though. Keep up the great work. :)

WTF IS THIS **** ?!?!?! Plz omg keep the same look and feel of the old classic cartographer! I understand that this new one must have made you put a lot of work into it but sheesh it's completely useless besides the fact of making something look advance that doesn't need to! The classic version is waaay much more better..over a million downloads for a reason. Plz keep updating the classic version and dont discontinue it :(

Calm down dude =)
Carto 3 existed ever since before the patch, it's another way of displaying the map à-la Google Maps.
I agree that the old-fashioned Carto has many intereting options (waypoints and such), this is why I also prefer it.

Keep up the good work, guys !

I have to agree. Cart3 is a classic example of "form over function." I just want a map. I don't care if I can zoom in and out with a mousewheel.
Cart2 had everything I needed at a glance. I'll use Cart3 if that's all that is available, but frankly what I miss most are:

1) /tloc
2) Zone info (fishing, instances, character levels)

when trying to make notes...

wow! I really like cartographer 3 I also notice that the configuration menus are not working but there's already a ticket for that.

Would really like to see "max zoom" become a "minimap overlay" if possible (like how on google maps it becomes a sattelite picture)

but all things considered it's already such an improvement that it has replced all other map mods

Did you notice the version number of this addon? .10 ... that means its still very infantile. More than likely ckknight is still working on the core code. I bet all that stuff will be back in once he gets the core stable enough to his liking. Currently, no Carto3 isn't really usable compared to Carto2, however in shiney awesomeness it has major potential. I can't wait until the version 1.0 release.

Great addon! This one is really an eye-catcher!

I think this should be called Cart_WowEarth as it mimmicks the google maps so much, i like both versions but find the ease of use for 2.2 better :) but brilliant work. donation comming your way (if i can find a donation button)

In my opinion, U should change Ur attitude to this new version a bit...
Here's what i think, should make Cartographer 3, a better addon :) :
- start with the old Cartographer look, and feel, change the config buttons a bit, add this zoom slider and its done - traditional look and new options (tracking current location is great :) with some zoom in its very cool)
- add option to make it transparent (everything but maps :) )
- zooming with mouse wheel is the best U introduced in this version, stick onto it ;) - but take my zooming in/out options into consideration:
- add option to set max zoom in level (not to be able to zoom in more than the Cartographer can take, cause in the most recent version of the addon, U can zoom in that U cant see anything), and max zoom out level (eg. to zoom out of the region U can [depending on the "zoom out of region" settig] either scroll, or right click on the map - as it was in the old Cartographer)
- dont cut those Kalimdor/Eastern/Outland/Northend/etc maps making some transparent fields, but leave it the way Blizzard did (U can add option to see the old style Continent maps, or the new way ;))
- add some option to lock visibility of Gatherer nodes, only in the current region, so U dont have to move mouse round to see them where U want them to be seen ;)
- but this new ability to see whats on the region next to the current one is cool :)
- this dbl clicking ability to move (like in Google Earth ;) ) to the selected one is great too !! but, when U have seen the map on eg. Terrokar, and now gone summoned to the Coilfang, and then check the map, it will move to the new destination from the last seen (add option to see new region maps instantly, or as it is now in Cartographer 3)

Its all what, that I personally think, make the Cartographer 3 the addon that all of WoW players would like to download instead of the old Cartographer :)

Woah! Is there no stopping CK? Having had problems with original Carto in 302, thought I'd give this a go and am well impressed. Gathermate works well with it too.

Respect to Jaeneva too for the fixes.

If you wanna try it do as J says (plagiarised here for summary):
1 - Download Cartographer 3.0 version 0.10
2 - Edit Addons/Cartographer3/main.lua and replace the only occurrent of InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame with InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory
3 - Install LibSimpleFrame-1.0, LibSimpleOptions-1.0, LibSimpleTimer-1.0

Wow! I was really impressed with this new Cartographer 3.0! Great addon :)

The questhelper options menu disappear also.
