Title: Add-On you think best for coordinates
Post by: Gailzee on February 10, 2007, 09:31:54 PM
Hello!

I asked in game a few days ago which add-on(s) you all thought best for showing grid coordinates. I didn't write the answers down figuring I'd remember and do it shortly thereafter. Well, I ended up playing a while and doing some RL stuff and forgot the names of the programs mentioned.

I do have Atlas, but it shows positions on the maps/dungeons, but not coordinates.

Please let me know the name or names of the best add-ons for coordinates, if you please.  ;D

Thanks a bunch!

If I was to download Either Titan or CT would that mean I wouldn't need Atlas? Don't those programs also offer the same stuff that atlas does too?

Atlas would be enough for me if only they had a coord mod included when viewing a zone map.

Atlas is a separate entity on its own. Its basically an enhancement to the standard WoW map showing things like instances and key locations of things like bosses and such. Expanding on that further is AtlasLoot and AtlasQuest which the first shows items that drop in said areas off said mobs, and the second shows what quests are for each instance and where to get them, the rewards, the chain leading up to them, etc.

Titan comes with a bundled Titan mod known as TitanCoords that has the option to display the map coordinates on the world map, regardless what mod to it you use, theres others out there called MetaMap and then one I use with Titan and Atlas called Cartographer (http://www.wowace.com/wiki/Cartographer) which is like Atlas, ctmap mod, MetaMap and Gatherer all rolled into one depending on the modules you choose to download for it.
