Route finding addon?
Does anyone know of an addon that can help find the best route to a given destination, like "turn by turn" directions on the TomTom or Cartographer waypoint arrow or similar?
I am afraid that I am horrible at remembering how to get to places, even when I have been there a dozen times or more. While addons like TomTom or Cartographer WayPoints definitely help, I still find myself constantly getting lost in the maze of mountains or buildings that are between me and my destination. To give the old timers a better idea of what I am looking for (and probably get myself severely flamed :D), there was an extremely (in)famous addon that basically did this and much more. While I can gladly do without the other features, I greatly miss the route finding/recording capabilities of AutoTravel. |
unfortunately there is no way for a mod to know if there is a big ass mountain in your way.

We've got five waypoint nodes, Q E S Z V. (Look at your QWERTY keyboard, its a map!) Each of those nodes only connects to certain other nodes, but not all of them. Q to E, Z E to Q, S, V Z to Q, V V to E, Z S to E If you're at Z and want to go to S, you have to take the shortest route possible. Q is closer to Z than V is, so the indicator has to point to Q. Then you have to go to E, and then S. The indicator wouldn't point directly from Z to S. Now, what such database would do is effectively provide a map for the addon to navigate. Making such "maps" could be aided by another module that lets you add the nodes; To connect two (or more routes) to another node, this module could also display the nodes on your world map, so that you can play connect-the-dots. |
Managed to find an addon that is extremely close to what I am looking for - Routes. Not sure how I missed it in my original search. :o
Only issue I have with it is that makes all routes a circle instead of a line. However, I think I can make it work if I place the nodes properly. |
