Maps / minimap

This guide is only a very basic approach to using the TomTom addon. This addon has many features and frequently...

One of the addons that many of us have surely used has always been Cartographer, an addon for maps, with more features such as zone information and the possibility of adding notes to our map.

You have probably noticed that since the release of patch 3.3 Cartographer has stopped working correctly. Some of you will have uninstalled it and opted for others, such as Mapster, among others.

But I was reluctant to stop using it and did not remove it from my list, hoping for a future update. However, it is confirmed that this update will not arrive. On the addon page, at Curse.com, they comment on the following:

CARTOGRAPHER HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR 3.3!
There are no plans to do any major bug fixes for Cartographer (v2 or v3). If there is an update it will only be a minor fix. (It has already been this way since at least 2008.) Cartographer (v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer (v2) would require a complete rewrite. Neither of the two main developers (Ckknight and Arrowmaster) have the time nor desire to do this currently. Occasionally a new version might be released to include fixes made by other developers or new versions of embedded libraries.

Edition: I have added a few notes to the article highlighting some parts of the addon that may not work at all.

Many times we may want to move the minimap around or just give it a bit of flair. BasicMinimap is an addon that allows you to do all of this without slowing down your computer like SexyMap could.

It is recommended for all those who want to modify the appearance or position of their minimap without sacrificing too much ram memory (and frames per second). In addition, taking advantage of the situation, we are going to explain a few simple steps about MoveAnything, an addon that we will talk about in depth later.
