This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

CARTOGRAPHER HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR 3.3!!!

DO NOT CREATE BUG REPORTS SAYING IT IS BROKEN!

There are no plans to do any major bug fixes for Cartographer (v2 or v3). If there is an update it will only be a minor fix. (It has already been this way since at least 2008.) Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite. Neither of the two main developers (Ckknight and Arrowmaster) have the time nor desire to do this currently. Occasionally a new version might be released to include fixes made by other developers or new versions of embedded libraries.

Cartographer is a modular, lightweight, and efficient framework for manipulation of the world map. It is based on Rock and other libraries of the WoWAce community.

Battlegrounds : allows viewing of battlegrounds outside of the zone.
Coordinates : adds coordinates to the bottom of the world map of the player and the cursor.
Foglight : Shows unexplored areas on the map. replacement for MozzFullWorldMap or Unexplorer. Much more efficient, though.
Group Colors : turns all your party's and your raid's POIs into circles colored based on class, and shows a number on them based on their raid group.
Instance Maps : shows maps of instances.
Instance Notes : adds boss notes and such to instance maps.
Look 'n' Feel : allows you to change the transparency, position, and scale of the world map.
Notes : lets you put notes on the map, similar to MapNotes.
Zone Info : on hovering over a zone, it will show the levels of the zone, the instances in the zone, their levels, and the group size the instance is made for (e.g. 5-man, 40-man).

Yep, piece of crap throws all kinds of LUA errors as soon as you go off shore from the Tournament Grounds. Used to love this add-on but it has gone to the recycle bin until it gets fixed.

I love the addon but there is one aspect that I cannot stand. Waypoints, with quest helper there really is not need for this part of the addon at all. Othewise great addon.

If you want to make a note at the spot, try using
/qnote message-goes-here
to make a quick note :)

Hello everyone. Love this add on. Very helpful. The issue I'm having is writing notes. I can't figure out how to actually put in a note on my map. I try the /note command and I get this in return:

usage: /note <0-100> <0-100> [title]

I'm not an expert in computers, so I can't figure that out. If someone could explain to me how to do this that would be fantastic. Thank you!

It wants you to put in the coordinates and what the note is.

Usage: /note <0-100> <0-100> [title]

Try something like /note 50 50 Center.

That will add a note to the center of the map called "Center".
Hope this helps.

I really Like this program but cannot use it because it makes map way too small for me to read it. It would ne nice if the creator would make it possible for the map to go full screen with a simple botton on the map some where. I think theres a hot key to make it go a little bigger but i cannot find the hotkeys :(

Apart from also getting the error others reported:

Message: Interface\AddOns\Cartographer_POI\POI.lua:143: Trying to set a note with an unknown zone: "Hrothgar's Landing"

I have the issue that when I actually am in Hrothgar's Landing or in Wintergrasp and I want to look at my map, Cartographer pops up but shows no map. All the information (group members, guild members, objectives in WG etc) shows up *except* for the actual map graphics.

There are a lot of errors in Hrothgar's Landing, the new island in 3.2, north of the Argent Tournament grounds. It seems like the zone map isn't included in the addon and it throws a bunch of Lua errors in the center of the screen.
