GatherMate2
GatherMate2 is an addon to collect and track herbs, mines, fishing pools, gas clouds, archaelogy finds and treasures, and displays them on the world map and the mini map.
This is the Retail version of GatherMate2, the version for WoW Classic can be found here
GatherMate will remember the location of every herb you pick or every ore you mine, so that you can easily find the positions of the herbs and mines again. Once you come into range of a recorded spot, GatherMate will show an icon representing the type of herb/ore/fish/etc. on your mini map, directly allowing you to decide if its worth checking out. Additionally, all spots are shown on the World Map, to ease navigation to certain types of nodes and making gathering more fun.
To give you a head start, GatherMate2 also offers a pre-filled data module, so you don't need to discover all herbs and mines yourself, but instead can just start gathering right away. Simply install GatherMate2_Data and hit a few buttons to import all the provided data, and you're good to go.

Video about configuring this addon.
Usage
Using GatherMate2 is straight-forward.
After the installation, GatherMate2 is automatically active and collecting data.
You can configure which data should be shown on the World Map or MiniMap in the Configuration Dialog, which can be accessed either via the /gathermate slash command or be found in the Interface options in the WoW Menu.
Localization (Translation of Nodes)
GatherMate2 relies on the node names to be translated in all languages WoW supports. You can contribute additional translations for your language here using the Localization tool:
https://www.wowace.com/projects/gathermate2/localization
Any translations submitted through that tool will be automatically included in the next release.
GatherMate2_Data
GatherMate2_Data has been updated with all fresh data from Wowhead, including support for Shadowlands, and will be continously updated throughout the coming expansion.
If you are looking for a pre-filled database for GatherMate2, get GatherMate2_Data here:

- delete herb brushes under database maintenance/cleanup database
- check to see that really no herbs are on the map of some old world zone
- import "wrath of the lich king" data with "expansion data only" enabled
- recheck the old world zone, and it's full of herbs :-(
GM2 is using circa three times as much memory as with just the wotlk-data I think, not dramatic enough to stop me from loving it, but still a bug ;-)
Sariash: it's fixed
i noticed that after installing auctionier + sidebar the icon is also in the sidebar but the link also remains in screen.
Drkcloudz, that with the deafult map or using a map addon?
and since the only reason im using gathermate/sexymap combo is for the HUD, gathermate is no longer useful to me :(
So far, mining and herbs work. Can't see gas clouds not even after collection, but server shutdown before I could get a good look. Still have to test out for fish and treasures (if dwarfs can still do that)
I wrote out a step-by-step list of places to alter the .lua file here (didn't see it explicitly spelled out anywhere else) and it's working for me without any lua errors (bonus :) ). I've strictly changed the references that are required, leaving descriptions alone (as well as the hooks to the enable/disable control, since there's no need to rename it).
No promises, but it may be able to fix your issue, Funkybug.
Made me a happy camper :)
Steam Clouds are bugged it seems they dont fire events like every other cloud does.
to juanekis: Are you running a non english client? Blizz decided to change all the german translations for mineral nodes, and noone has provided me with a list so i can update the localization data for german mineral nodes.
to Rob1003: ill go check steam clounds might be a typo.
