Description
_________
Adds a note system to the WorldMap helping you keep track of interesting locations. MapNotes(Fan's Update) also provides a Plugin interface for other AddOns to take advantage of the note making ability. AlphaMap(Fans Update) uses this interface to allow Note creation on AlphaMap Maps of Instances, BattleGrounds, and World Boss Maps. This version of MapNotes comes with in-built support for creation of notes on Atlas maps, also using this Plugin interface. For these purpose MapNotes offers the following main functions: 1. Marking notes on the WorldMap 2. Showing one of these notes on the MiniMap (see MiniNote) 3. Allows any other AddOn to use MapNotes note creation ability to mark notes on frames within their own AddOn : - Marking notes on AlphaMap (Fan's Update) Instance maps - Marking notes on Atlas maps
"/tloc" can be used to toggle this AddOns minimap coordinates instead of Thottbott's minimap coordinates. NOTE : PLEASE still use "/mn -tloc xx,yy" to place a Thottbott marker on the map. "/tloc" ONLY toggles Minimap Coordinates.
Should be compatible with both Cartographer and MetaMap, although you may no longer be able to create notes on the map with the in-built functionality provided by those AddOns - only with the functionality provided by MapNotes (Fan's Update).

/mn -allow OR /mn -a Allows you to receive the next note, even if you have disabled receiving in the options. If invoked with no parameters, it will toggle the current state.
/mn -automini Shows the next note created (using any method) as a MiniNote and also puts it on the WorldMap. If invoked with no parameters, it will toggle the current state.
/mn -allmini Toggle all MapNotes off/on as Mininotes (Keybinding also available)

/mn -q [icon] [name] Adds a note at your current location, icon and name are optional (icon any number from 0 to 9, AddOns/MapNotes/POIIcons/Icon#.tga) If no [name] is passed, then the Note will be named based on the MiniMap Text, and the second/third lines will be populated with more zone information and/or the default QuickNote text.
/mn -qtloc xx,yy [icon] [name] See the Section on Formatting of X,Y Coordinates Adds a note on the map you are currently on at the given thottbot location, icon and name are optional (icon any number from 0 to 9, AddOns/MapNotes/POIIcons/Icon#.tga)
NEW SLASH COMMANDS IN MapNotes(Fan's Update)
___________________________________________
/mn -s [search text] If you want to search for a note, to see if one exists, or where it is, then you can use this command, and MapNotes will print out a report in the chat window, displaying the names of all maps which have a note containing that text
/mn -hl [note name] If you have lots of notes and want to clearly identify a single one on a map, or if you want a certain note to remain highlighted, then use this command and they will be displayed with a green circle around them. If there are several notes with that name or containing that text, then they will ALL be highlighted. The note name does not have to be case sensitive, and doesn't have to be an exact match - all notes containing the [note name] text will be highlighted. If the EXACT NAME is specified (not case-sensitive), the note will also be marked as a MiniNote on the Minimap
/mn -mapc Toggle the display of Player and Cursor Coordinates on the World Map Control-Left-Click and drag the coordinates to move them to a different position on the World Map if you are not happy with the default.
/mn -minic Toggle the display of Player coordinates below the Minimap.
/mn -t [icon] [name] Creates a quicknote at the Player's current location if the Player has no target. If the Player does have a target, then it will create a note for that target at the Player's current location, icon and name are optional (icon any number from 0 to 9, AddOns/MapNotes/POIIcons/Icon#.tga)
/mn -m Creates a note for the Player's target at the Player's current location. OR Merges the details for the Player's current target in to a Map Note that has already been created at the Player's current location. MUST have targetted a Player/NPC/Mob for this to work.
/mn -scale [0.5 - 1.5] The size of MapNotes Menus and Frames are now fixed no matter what the scale of the World Map or other AddOn Map being used. This command can be used to change the default size of MapNotes Menus and Frames if the user finds it too small or large. The default value is 0.7 Therefore "/mn -scale 1.0" will make the Menus and Frames appear larger than they do by default.
/mn -undelete Will undelete the last deleted MapNote.

There are a couple of slash commands that you should find useful. Yes, yes, I know you like GUIs, but these slash commands can be more useful than a simple alphabetic list for a single Zone.
The Search slash command will help you find a note in any Zone, based on partial text search. So even if you can't remember the full name of the note, you can search based on the fact that you know the note contained a certain Mob name for example...
/mn -s [search text] If you want to search for a note, to see if one exists, or where it is, then you can use this command, and MapNotes will print out a report in the chat window, displaying the names of all maps which have a note containing that text
/mn -hl [note name] If you have lots of notes and want to clearly identify a single one on a map, or if you want a certain note to remain highlighted, then use this command and they will be displayed with a green circle around them. If there are several notes with that name or containing that text, then they will ALL be highlighted. The note name does not have to be case sensitive, and doesn't have to be an exact match - all notes containing the [note name] text will be highlighted. If the EXACT NAME is specified (not case-sensitive), the note will also be marked as a MiniNote on the Minimap
These commands also work for notes made on Atlas maps, or on AlphaMap.
(Need separate download "MapNotesForAtlas" to make notes on Atlas Maps)

Telic saidIf lightheaded doesn't have the coordinates, then you can use MapNotes to create a note yourself that you can track in the Minimap. MapNotes minimap tracking is always local to the zone you are in, so that you can set a Minimap note in one zone, and three new ones in a different zone, and when you move between zones, one Minimap icon will disappear, and the new zone's icons will appear; And vice versa.
MapNotes doesn't have global Minimap tracking, or an arrow to follow. You're complaining in the wrong place. Try on Lightheaded's page.

ldeanjames saidI'm so frustrated. Too many of Lightheaded's quest notes do not have coordinates in them so that we can have the arrow to follow to a location that isn't marked on Blizzard's or Cartographer's map. I've looked everywhere for instruction on how to add the coords in Lightheaded, or at the very least, do a slash command that creates my own arrow to follow. I've found nothing except how to add notes to the map. Am I just missing this information, not recognizing it for what it is in all my research? Any help would be so appreciated.

Please report this kind of issue on the Curse technical support forums.
I've never used the curse updater and am not responsible for it - but you should make sure Curse themselves are aware of the issue.

syali saidIf others are having trouble with MapNotes, here's what I found.
As of right now it looks like the curse updater will download and pretend to install and even show this AddOn in its list but it will not actually exist in your AddOns folder.
To solve it, I downloaded the MapNotes zip file and extracted it manually into my wow AddOns folder.

Telic saidChanges in v4.16.20400 from v4.15.20300
=======================================
- support for differently shaped minimaps
Automatically works with SimpleMinimap
As it works with SimpleMinimap automatically, and wouldn't change much in other circumstances, there is no GUI control of this option. However, it is possible to manually specify the Minimap style you want via the following methods :
1.) use the following slash command to cycle through the available styles
"/mn -mstyle [#]"
Pass an optional number to specify a particular style.
Pass a zero to revert to a circular Minimap style.
See the Readme.txt file for a list of styles.
2.) use the provided key-binding to cycle through the available styles

Telic saidMapNotes is compatible with LightHeaded which is a Quest Log extension that shows Quest notes posted on the WoWHead web site, including coordinates :
LIGHTHEADED SUPPORT
To create a MapNote from Lightheaded coordinates, must now do one of the following :
1.) <ALT>-Click on the Lightheaded coordinates to create a temporary Thottbott Map and Mininote as per original functionality
2.) <CTRL>-Click on the Lightheaded coordinates to create a permanent MapNote (Also active as Mininote)
3.) <CTRL>-<SHIFT>-Click on the Lightheaded coordinates to create a permanent MapNote NOT active as a Mininote
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7017-LightHeaded.html
Otherwise, you may find the "QuickMapNotes" companion AddOn above quite useful for speeding up note creation. Click on the link above in the General notes.
