TomTom 

I have numerous toons on multiple servers and am seeing what I consider strange behavior on two of them. I have two Horde toons on two different servers, both doing the Dalaran (Northrend) jewelcrafting dailies. I have the TomTom waypoint arrow configured on both to "Automatically set to next closest waypoint" but the "Allow closest waypoint to be outside the current zone" option unchecked. The "Automatically set waypoint arrow" option is also enabled on both.

Each character has its own waypoint profile and option profile. Both characters have waypoints in the areas where you can collect the various mats needed for the JC dailies. The waypoints are not at the exact same coordinates, but close. Both toons wake up and sleep within the Dalaran (Northrend) jewelcrafting shop and before the sleep (log out) waypoints are cleared from the waypoint arrow. All waypoints have been added using the "/way xx.xx yy.yy name" command when in the appropriate area. All waypoints are saved until I manually remove them.

Here's the weirdness...on one toon, when I log in, the waypoint arrow is displayed with a waypoint in Sholazar Basin selected. If I clear the waypoint from the arrow, log out and back in, the arrow is displayed again. If I remove the waypoint, log out and back in, the arrow does NOT pop up with a waypoint from any other zone. If I manually enter a new waypoint in Sholazar at a random location, log out and back in, that waypoint is now displayed by the arrow!

As a test, I just entered three waypoints in Sholazar at coords 11.11,11.11; 22.22,22.22; and 33.33,33.33 labeled test1, test2, and test3. Logging out and back caused the first waypoint to be automatically selected. The funny thing is that it was the farthest of the three from my current location, clearly ignoring the "rules" that had been set!

If I delete all Sholazar waypoints, log out and back in, the arrow does NOT appear, even if I have the option of selecting waypoints outside the current zone selected. This behavior has now changed. Again, with option of waypoints outside the current zone unchecked and not Sholazar waypoints, the waypoint arrow is displayed, pointing to the FARTHEST waypoint I have.

On my other toon, no waypoint arrow is displayed unless I manually set it, even if the outside zone option is set.

There seems to be some unstable behavior going on here. I'm wondering if I need to remove TomTom and delete all data and reinstall it? Not a huge deal, just another inconvenience I'd rather not have to deal with.

I'd appreciate some feedback on this. Thanks!!

That's debatable.

I'm making a macro to put the closest Archaeology digsite on the crazy arrow. This is what I have:


The issue I'm coming across is that while the crazy arrow goes to 0 yards, it is not clearing or showing up on the minimap. I assume it's not on the minimap because I'm technically not on the mapID it's set for, but I would expect a waypoint would clear at 0 yards regardless of what mapID I'm actually on.

Hello,
Totally confused here. WoW Classic doesn't show any waypoint arrows as I go through the game. It did once when I died. Afterward it was gone and I can't seem to get it back.
Reading these comments, am I to understand I have to input all the waypoint positions for it to work?
Thanks for the help.

I appologize if this has been covered but I have searched and cannot find anything.

I am getting a pop-up error in my chat windows after upgrading to the lastest version of TomTom, searching has not turned up anything.

TomTom: No data for quest waypoint - <name of whatever quest I click on>

anyone seen this or know how to resolve it?

Thanks!

What possible addons would be doing it?
The only other add ons that adds anything to the map is questie and recipe radar (which actually does not add a dot to the map when I shift click to find the vendor like it is supposed to)
Suggestions of any addons I may not be thinking about?

You are welcome! Glad it worked out.

Well, what do you know, it is working! Arrow is working now that I know that you need to be on the correct continent. I will add a message to users informing them. Thank you!

As for a feature request, if you do that, great! That's up to you of course but it sounds like a good idea.

Thank you again!

Ah, TomTom does not bring up the arrow for waypoints on different continents.
If you took the portal to Pandaria from Boralus, then the waypoint should show.
It could be argued that this is a new feature request, as distances can be calculated within a world.
The current add-on allows you to restrict waypoints within the current zone, or open it up to the current continent.

Sorry, yes, you are correct. I did try 376 before but typed 367 in my question. I will try it again.

I missed that command and will test it out. Thus far the arrow isn't appearing. Could it be that the arrow is being set but I have to call some kind of :Show() on it? I will edit this post after testing /tway list and see what that does.

Edit: after trying /tway list TomTom is apparently setting the waypoint but the arrow is not visible.

807 is the map ID for the Trial of Valor dungeon.
367 is the map ID for the Firelands dungeon.
376 is the map ID for Valley of the Four Winds!

Almost, but not quite right!
You can use /tway list to show you where TomTom placed your waypoint.
You can use the calls to DefineZone8() in https://github.com/Ludovicus-Maior/W...o_ZoneData.lua as a quick guide to the zone to mapID mapping that I use in WoW-Pro.

I am attempting to add TomTom support to FeedTillers (pastebin) and the debug print is showing the coordinates but the TomTom API isn't creating a waypoint.

What I know is the code calling the function to add a waypoint (lines 156 and 157) is working because of the debug print line, but then I am stuck. The function is on lines 84-93. I have tried the mapID of 807 and the uiMapID of 367 for Valley of the Four Winds in Pandaria.

What am I missing?

One of the guys I play with found this Reddit post which has a macro for doing exactly that, or you can grab an addon like Ludovicus mentioned.

Something I'd really like added would be a way of clicking on coordinates in general chat to have them added to the crazy arrow, but that might be hard to do as people don't always use the same format.

Ludovicus are you still looking into ctrl-RMB adding WQ as a waypoint?
This hasn't worked for a while and I really miss it.

So there are two different things here:

1. When you are in combat, addons are limited in what they can do.
2. There are other addons that detect rares and broadcast their positions to other people in the area before you get into combat.
