Cartographer 

Dumb question, but I don't seem to be receiving gathering node information from my guildmates. Does the presence of a checkmark on Database Sharing->Receive Filter->Herbalism mean "Yes I want to receive it" or "No I want it filtered out"?

Probably a stupid question, but is there anyway to turn off the legend that appears on the right side of the map? I like it to be able to find out where I'm going but sometimes it makes it really hard to see where I'm at if I'm on that side of the world and to be able to toggle it on and off when I need it would be great. I've looked through the options, but obviously not good enough if such an option exists. Any help would be appreciated.

Started getting this error after the new vendo,r trainers, quest moduals came out

Ok, I love cartographer so far but I got one little problem that I didnt get solved so far: when I'm in an instance, it keeps switching back from the instance map to the zone map in which I have been questing... any idea what might cause this?

I've been having the same problem, but it doesn't affect only Cartographer, but all Ace-based mods. This makes all tooltips of FuBar addons look the same way.

Usually forcing a Reload UI "solves" the problem.

Now when I mouse over anything on the map (ore, treasure, group members) the popup window and the text is very transparent and dark and hard to see. Also i can't get the "Show guild members" to work

Even with Cartographer Mining activated, no mining spots appear in Outland territories (Zangarmarsh, Hellfire Peninsula, ...).
This works perfectly when in Azeroth (I didn't try in Kalimdor)
Did I miss something ?

Just started using this yesterday. When I first loaded it I could move my mouse around the map and it would tell me levels and instances as I touched various parts of it. now it doesn't do that anymore. Did I turn something off? Help please. Edit**** The issue appears to be the "lock" command. What does that do? A little more documentation would be helpful. When I mouse over a neighboring zone I get all the info but how do you get it for the zone you are in? Thanks.

Does anyone know how to import the datas from Gather?

I´ve installed the import mod but doesn´t know how to import because the is no describtion.

The points of interest are in the wrong places and I can't seem to see any notes about loots etc.? What could cause this, I don't have any other mods that would alter the maps?
Also trying to change the coordinate text size will result in error: Coordinates.lua:410, attempt to index field "frame", a nil value

My guild has been using Cartographer Note system to map the location of quests in Outlands to ease up the leveling process. So far it's been a great help, but there are a few problems and annoyances that are stopping a wider adoption.

The number one is, of course, that after you map an entire continent worth of quest mobs, spawn areas and quest givers, what you get is a huge mess of icons covering everything. And by everything, I mean everything: location names, party member icons, and the quest giver proximity icon (when you're going to deliver the quest). This makes many of our members turn off the whole notes option, because the advantages don't compensate the problems.

The second problem is that having 50 icons with the positions of quests is better then not having any clue of where to go, but still makes you through them one by one until you find the what you're looking for.

So, I have a few suggestions that could make things a lot more usefull to our specific situation, and would probably be of much use even to more generic use of the addon. First some non-quest-specific suggestions.

While you're usign the map view, there is already an option on modules like Quests, Vendors and Trainers to set the transparency and size of the icons. Thats a nice option, that should be available to all modules. But also would be great to be able to set such options to the minimap icons. The same way, could also be implemented a feature like the one present on Gatherer, where the icon change into a trace-only circle, so not to cover party player, hunter/druid tracking, tradeskill or quest giver proximity icons. Just this feature would probably avoid most complaints I hear about the addon.

Another thing would be to include some kind of search, in a easy to find spot of the interface, that could search through all notes.

Also, it would be nice to have a way to make notes that are not point-only, but area-notes. This could be done by setting two coordinates for square-shaped notes, or center-radius for circle-shaped notes. Well, if I'm only dreaming, there could also be a way to create multi-point path notes, to write down patrol paths.

Now, there could also be implemented a more specific system to deal with quest notes. All previous suggestions would still apply, but tools directly designed for dealing with notes would help a lot.

For example:

* A quest list, similar to the dungeon loot table list. Would list all the quests already present on the current map. You could trigger on and off any quest on this list, so only its points would be shown up. It could also track your quest log, so all your current quests are shown up. Some kind of integration with MonkeyQuest for selecting which quests to show would also be nice.

* For area-notes, it could track the coordinates where you received a quest item in a similar way to how CartographerQuests tracks where you recieve a new quest, automaticaly generating a area note the surrounds a possible drop area.

It would be really great if some of those suggestions could be implemented on the addon. I use it day by day, and could not imagine having to go back to the original map. Hope you don't find my ideas too crazy to ever see the light of day.

Thanks a lot for the amazing work. Cheers.

Ckknight ,

Not only did you add a Waypoint Feature, but the animated arrow that travels with you is freakin awesome!

Damn, it just gets better and better everyday.


/waves bye bye to the other map addons.

-They will soon be a thing of the past-


Tricksta_

I read some where that there was a way to send my notes db to another player. Does anyone know what this is? I know you can send individual notes thru Cart now but I would like to send the entire db.

Thax for your time,

Great mod CK awesome work.

NVM I am an idiot I found it thx
