HandyNotes

Table of Contents

Handy Notes for your maps. This addon is intended to be a small and simple framework for showing notes on your map.

Use /handynotes to access options.

You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:

Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.

HandyNotes supports plugins that other authors can write to display their own set of notes on the map. See this link for a list of such addons: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/search?search=handynotes

Then the icons won't appear at all on the minimap--that's no fix.

For those of you, like myself, who have that icon sticking to your player arrow in the minimap; if you haven't done so already you can go into the HandyNotes options area and reduce the alpha for the minimap notes and set it to zero so you don't see the note icons anymore. At least it won't block the view of your arrow and you can still see your note icons on the world map.

This is what I am doing 'til we get an update, hopefully we will.

Same thing happens to me as Loxado. I also used Handynotes_CityGuide, Trainers, etc. Many of them seem to stick to the arrow on the minimap.

The fan update does not fix anything. The icon still sticks to the character arrow and the real point does not show on the minimap.

4.0.3a - R: v1.1.6: When I make a note with /hnnew it is correct on the map (Mapster), <<< BUT >>> it sticks to my personal arrow on the minimap too. In all zones where I made a note with /hnnew I have the selected icon moving on top of me around the minimap with me. :-( When I mouseover the symbol on the minimap it tells the correct text - but absolut wrong coordinates (because it moves with me). I found NO WAY to get rid of the symbol on top of me on the minimap :-( Everything else is great and I really dont want to miss this addon!!

Is there going to be an update for this because there needs to be a 4.03 update with a new astrolabe because I think that is where the problem is coming from.

Handynotes has a tendency to hang on to the icon of the last trainer/innkeeper/whatnot and places it right on top of my character arrow on the minimap (I use chinchilla). Is there a fix for this on the way?

I've noticed that as well - it's ONLY on the minimap, if that helps. I had created a new marker for the Blasted Lands portal in the new Orgrimmar using /hnnew. Also, the minimap marker sits on the character arrow on all characters, not just the one that created the note.

I noticed this behavior stops after I leave the city but appears again when I re-enter it.

Should note that with the introduction of the Hero's Call Board/Warchief Commands Board, the only time you should ever have to field that question is if they are being griefed and would like a shortcut without having to travel to another capital first or they are in Outland/Northrend.

Should also note that zones appear to all have their own story to tell which is substantially more linear than before so marking the starting point for the zone is a must :)
