Why not? It's his add on, they both are. This he feels is the new incarnation of Cart, and it goes with WoW 3.0 (a lot of mods that are changes things for wotlk xpac have done the same) If you can't look at the screenshots and see it's different yourself. That's your problem, not his.

BUG: You can't see the texture of the terrain - its just blank.

(And the rest of you shut up with your whining, its totally annoying to listen to.)

Is it a bug if i cannot delete created note on the worldmap??? Nothing happens after i press Remove Note...

Chasim,
You can use simpleminimap to take or add icons to minimap.

Gatherer you can use for herbs and what not, you can use gatherer DB wowhead for nodes. You just have to import the nodes from gatherer.

It is interesting, but (and a fat *but* at that) it isn't the same addon. Naming it Cartographer 3.0 is just gonna aggravate all those people that want Cartographer, not a Google Maps addon.

Thanks for all the work on this mod. It seems to have all the features of Cartographer 3.0 now (like compatibility with Gatherer and quest helper), but a sleeker interface. Good stuff.

You folks complaining about 3.0 realize there's a different cartographer, right? 2 mods called cartographer?

First, thanks for the hard work on this mod.

Second, two questions:
(1) Are any Mining/Herbalism mods compatible with Cartographer 3.0 (maybe the old Cartographer ones)?
(2) Any chance on an option to hide the Map button on the mini-map?

Gatherer still works like a charm too

Seeing all the negative comments about Cartographer3, I had to give it a look. My first impression was WOW....yes, WOW. I think the new interaction is great and an upgrade from Cartographer2, and this is coming from someone that has been using Cartographer2 since it came out. Sure Cartographer3 takes some time to get used to -- but what doesn't, if you're trying it for the first time and it is different than what you're used to? Plus, sure it currently doesn't have some of the Cartographer2 features, but hey it hasn't had a long development stage like Cartographer2 has had either.

Anyway, good job so far on Cartographer3, and I hope you continue with its development and features.

(prev msg)(uninstalled instead of desinstalled of course :)

@Moonlite : being curious about your comment (even considering it's out of place, I checked "Carbonite Quest". When Cartographer 3.0 and Carbonite are installed, impossible to access the map, and none work. Now the funny thing is that even WITHOUT cartographer 3.0, Carbonite won't launch (besides the splash screen) and there is NO access to any kind of world map. So I desinstalled Carbonite and everything works again -evil grin-

Maybe you should get a updated carbonite version from carbonbase.
www.carboniteaddon.com I run the full version btw.

I'm getting quite used to the "google earth" effect ; indeed it is EXTREMELY handy when you detach the map, reduce its size and put it in some corner of your screen.

Some issues though:

- (0.10.1): still zoom/texture bugs rather often (no more map in cities, juste a blue texture), gonna check 0.10.2

- is there a function such as "reduce/enlarge windows with a click" I'd missed? (basically like for a GUI window, having 2 "size states")

- is there a way to integrate the numerous notes I had gathered with the 2.x version?

Thanks for the hard work :)

WTF, the Map is a ripoff of Carbonite. And when I open my carbonite Map then the Cartographer gives me a Text on my Screen saying "BLAH!" I testet it with Cartographer activated and without. With carbonite I get the weird BLAH! Message that is permanently on my Scree. Without Cartographer it won't appear. Is this a attack against Carbonite? After you stole theire Mapsystem? -.-

The entirety of my reason for using Cartographer up to now has been:
Seeing Mine Nodes on my map and mini-map.
Seeing Herb Nodes on my map and mini-map.
Seeing any other gathering objective on my map and minimap.
Seeing Quest Objectives on my map and mini-map.
The easy zoom in and zoom out functions with rightclick and leftclick buttons.
A brief summary of each zone, including recommend leveling range, fishing range and a list of instances in the zone.

I tried out Cartographer 3. Frankly, I didn't like it. The map moves and shifts in and out on it's own a bit, but the scrolling zoom in and out is at least an interesting idea. It's a poor replacement for the old version of Cartographer if it does not do any of the things I listed above. It does seem to want to simulate Google maps. That's fine, but does have the same broad-reaching improvement to everyone's gameplay experience as the prior version? Currently, no it does not. The aggravating thing is that the Cartographer collection of addons was PERFECT in almost every way. It was a beautiful one-stop shop of many addons in one. It replaced many many things and did so in impressive fashion. It was a little buggy sometimes, but the diversity of it's functions was absolutely brilliant.

It was one of my short list of, "Can't imagine playing without it" addons. The sad thing is, this isn't the only addon on that list that is doing something similar: Reinventing the addon to do some nifty thing or another, and either dumping or back-burnering all the most desirable functions and features in the process. Auctioneer anyone?

In the end, if the developers of Cartographer want to ignore the concerns of me and the rest of their user base that misses the old features, that's fine. I don't pay for the thing. It's freeware written by someone nice enough to share with the rest of the world. Beggars can't be choosers. It's somebody else's toy and they get to choose what they want to do with it. It's just extremely disappointing to lose an addon that was so incredibly useful and versatile.

On that note, does anyone know of any addon or combination of addons that does some or all of the things that old Cartographer used to do?
