HandyNotes
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
This is more like a "core" addon which provide the functionality to add / show nodes on the map. You will need to download the plugins.
For any mod authors out there who happen to come by: we really need a HandyNotes plugin for Class Halls! Thank you!

Treasure chest inside Nar'thalas Academy coordinates 53.55, 40.08 as positioned relative to overall Azsuna map, but to collect the chest, you must be inside the Academy, and the coordinates for Azsuna map place the icon in the wrong place on the Academy map. The chest is actually located at 62.09, 83.79 in the Academy.
This is a great addon but it has serious issues at the moment. The note creation window appears behind the map so you can't even create a note full screen map. Even with the smaller map the note creation window appears behind the map. You also can't edit or delete notes. The box to edit and delete notes appears and disappears in a second. Hopes this gets fixed soon this was a really useful addon when it was working.
When I Alt-Rightclick on the world map nothing seems to happen except that I cannot move or use normal hotkeys until I close the map by pressing the x in the corner of map the window. Even will all other addons disabled.
/hnnew does not seem to do anything. Notes added by HandyNotes Special NPCs Etc when installed does not seem to be present.

Right now there's a bug in the default UI worldmap that makes the dropmenus disapear as soon as clicked.
There's a thread in MMOChamp about this:
http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/2150362-Map-Dropmenu-Click-Bug
Also some guy found a workaround in a thread at Battle.net:
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/15355745432
This solution DID fix the dropmenu glitch, at least for me but Handy Notes is still buggy since for example, I can't move (Ctrl + Shift + Left Drag) certain notes once created and I guess the same event that made the dropmenus glitchy is the one not allowing me to move notes since as soon as I grab them they snap right back to their original position and feels very similar to the dropmenus problem.
Perhaps the devs of this addon might find this info useful.
When you create a new handynote you can't select anything other than a star icon.
Once you create said handynote, you can't edit it.
In both cases the dropdown flashes for a split second before disappearing. Something regarding the onclick dropdown is obviously borked in the code.
No lua errors.
Chiming in as well.
1) Always make sure map is full size. Partial size doesn't seem to let me add a note.
2) Unable to edit. The menu that appears when right-clicking an existing note does not allow interaction, nor does it stay open for longer than a few seconds at most.
I am able to change the icon for the note, but only after disabling nearly all addons that I use. That speaks to a possible conflict, but I am not knowledgeable enough to do anything with that observation beyond passing that information on to you, Nevcairiel.
Update: There are several locations for the Ephemeral Crystal that need to be updated on Handynotes, How could i get this info to the creator?
This is a good place to drop valuable info for future updates and fixes, I sent the Maintainer: Nevcairiel a PM to let him know about the addon's latest bugs, let's just wait.
Report it here
Bug: Notes sometimes get offsetted by a few pixels to the left and up... all notes ever made in the maps, it takes a /console reloadui to bring them back to their original position.
Bug: The Alt-RightClick function to create a new Note sometimes stops working altogether and the only way to access to the new Note window is by /hnnew
1 suggestion:
on kirin tor emissarry, the WQ doesnt show on the map for me,
how about an handynote addon/plugin that shows all possible kirin tor WQ starter location
Bug: Whenever I try to right-click to edit a note that's inside a subzone (ex: Ashenvale) the dropdown menu just closes quickly and can't click the options.
It doesn't happen when the note is in a continent map, in that case I can right-click and edit as usual.
I think Dugi's Questing Essentials is causing icons not to appear on the mini-map again. I disabled Dugi's and all worked as intended again. Will post there as well.
I would like to apologize, I think I found the issue. Today I went thru the few addons I have and enabled them one by one... I started with HandyNotes, then Dugi's... All worked well. NPCScan was also an issue. I played for like an hour to figure out these 4 addons didn't' sync well. When I got to SpartanUI I got the issue again. There is a "module" for it that does something with the map. I'm not sure. I've never used it, but come to find out, that module somehow got enabled and is the culprit. As soo nas I disabled that module, the other addons that dealt with the minimap all worked in unison. I'll post on his page and see if he can figure out what the issue is. But something between it's map module, NPCScan, HandyNotes, and Dugi's cause an issue with icons not being displayed. It's odd, because if I disable just one of them. The others work fine together. LoL!
A bug is occurring where, while creating a new handynote, when I click and open the drop-down menu, the menu immediately closes itself without me being able to click on an option. This happens without any other addons enabled. Do you know what's going on?
I have Excact same problem - Pls fix this! :-D I tried to disable all other addons to see if that helps - but no... :-(
