Cartographer
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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).
To get all the features of cartographer you need to install all the secondary cartographer mods. Be sure you have them as well. This pack only installs the base cartographer mod. To get all the features you mentioned I know you will at least need Look n Feel and Foglight. Read the different mods that are listed in the description of this mod and their may be others you want to get.

i am getting errors, plus when i open it, my screen disappears, and this is on a black background, is there a way to fix this so cartographer is on top of main screen as it used to be?.is there a new update coming soon?
havin the same issues as everyone else with the black screen and errors poppin up all the time
Thanks Lannos for the workaround...
My problem is that I use my W,A,S,D keys to move. But for now I guess I'lll just get used to moving the Middle mouse button.
P.S.
I still think Cartographer is very useful, its just, one of the main reasons I use it is because its a legible map that I can view and move at the same time.
I can't get the instance maps to show for me. I can look up any town, any zone, etc, just no instance maps. Also, when I'm in an instance, I press M, I can see the instance map for a second or 2, then it will go to whichever zone I'm in.
For those getting errors with 2.3 (all of us I think) such as:
- "Interface/AddOns/Cartographer/Cartographer.lua:751: attempt to index field 'playerModel' (a nil value)"
Causing Issues such as Galace mentioned "when I go to cartographer map, the outside is all black and I can't move my character while viewing my map. This kind of destroys one of the main points I got Cartographer."
I have noticed that if I reduce my map size to about 75% (the size I keep it at anyway) and drag the map around the screen and drop it at another location it removes the black boarder around the reduced size map.
Furthermore I can hit the "m" key for map and if I am moving already using the center mouse button I can continue to move and navigate while in the map.
Also... if you click the center mouse button off of the map while not moving after the map is open, I have found that I can continue to move my character... no answers on transparency for you though... but this helped me immensely so I thought I'd share it with anyone that could use this info. @_@
In regards to the "This kind of destroys one of the main points I got Cartographer." comment... well yeah.. it is offering a reduced functionality at the moment.. but it is still an outstandingly useful mod even "as is" and even with the reduced operation I do not plan to switch. (After all... it took time, a lot of time to make all those tons of map notes I have at this point... I shudder at the thought of having to re-do them all.) O.o
If anyone devises a real fix, not just an in game workaround, I'd love to hear of it asap. -_^

It is cuz of patch 2.3, and im sure we will have an update soon! :)
After dowloading patch 2.3, Cartographer started giving me this error message after logging in to a character:
Interface/AddOns/Cartographer/Cartographer.lua:751: attempt to index field 'playerModel' (a nil value)
Like galace, I can no longer move my character and view my map at the same time, and there is no longer any opacity to my map, just a solid, scaled map view with a black background. I can still make notes and set waypoints.
I'm assuming this is a compatibility problem with 2.3, but I've become rather fond of my transparent mini-map. I hope a resolution can be found soon!
when I go to cartographer map, the outside is all black and I can't move my character while viewing my map. This kind of destroys one of the main points I got Cartographer. This did not happen before Patch 2.3, how can I fix this problem?
Is this compatible with Light Headed?
