Handy Notes for your maps. This addon is intended to be a small and simple replacement for Cartographer_Notes and functions in a similar manner.

Use /handynotes to access options.

You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:

  • Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
  • Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
  • Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.

HandyNotes supports plugins that other authors can write to display their own set of notes on the map. See this link for a list of such addons: http://www.wowace.com/search/?search=handynotes

Changes from v1.1.4 to v1.1.5

  • Use latest version of Astrolabe library which has Hrothgar's Landing data.
  • Play nice with Carbonite which is trying to fake as being Cartographer.
  • Add HandyNotes to the Blizzard Interface Addon Options too.
  • When quest objectives are enabled, the HandyNotes icons on the world map will now show their tooltips again on mouseover.
  • When creating or editing a note on a map with dungeon levels, you may now choose which dungeon level the note appears in or choose to have it appear on ALL dungeon levels.
  • HandyNotes will now pass as 3rd parameter the dungeon map level when it calls pluginHandler:GetNodes(mapFile, minimap, dungeonLevel). Existing user notes in HandyNotes will still display on all dungeon map levels, but new notes will be level specific.
  • Remove compatibility code with all WoW versions earlier than patch 3.1.
  • Convert to use wowace localization system at http://www.wowace.com/addons/handynotes/localization/
  • Notes without a title will now show "(No Title)" as the tooltip title rather than have no tooltip on mouseover.
  • Add the ability to create/change/copy/delete profiles in HandyNotes. HandyNotes was already using Ace3 profiles, just that this wasn't exposed.
  • Add ability to enable and disable plugins from showing on the map in the HandyNotes options.
  • Add a wider range of icons to select from.

    Xinhuan, are you planning to update the version string so it doesn't require loading of out-of-date addons? I've been using it for a while and it all appears to work fine for me, it just makes me happy to not see 'Out of Date'

    Yes, tonight.

    For those who used to use Cartographer but threw it out and now use Carbonite and find that HandyNotes does not work with Carbonite, I've put together a fix. You can find it at http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/carbonitecartographerfix.aspx

    Some requests (from a former user of abandoned cartographer):
    1. Can you add coords (cursor/char) to the map
    2. Way to add a quicknote, like /hn x,y which just adds a star to x,y with no more dialog boxes, etc

    1. If you use Mapster (a Look-n-Feel replacement for Cartographer), it has this ability.
    2. You can already /hnnew x,y. A dialog box still pops up though, surely an extra click on the "OK" button won't kill you.

    Is there really no way to see the text of an added HandyNote without right-clicking it and choosing 'Edit'? That's ... not good. :(

    This means you didn't give it a title. Heh. Will poke around for a workaround, possibly a default title.

    Hmm, I figured it out, the tooltips don't show if Quest Objectives are shown. I'll see if I can find a workaround for Blizzard forcefully hiding the tooltip every frame.

    How do I add a note? With Cartographer_Notes I could type
    /note x,y Note
    which would add a note to my current map. Is there any way of doing this with HandyNotes at all?

    Also, does anyone know if/how I can import my Cartographer_Notes into HandyNotes?

    To add a note you can type "/hnnew" to create a note where you are standing or you can alt+right click anywhere on the map to place a note.

    I'm not aware of any way to import Cartographer_Notes into HandyNotes unfortunaely (but i'd love for someone to prove me wrong as i have some notes i'd like to import myself!) though i'm not the addon developer so there could be something i don't know about.

    Thanks /hnnew and Alt-Right Click does the trick!

  • It worked fine until 3.3. Now I miss the zone info. The flightmasters extension is still working, but no zone info (level and instances). What can I do to get it back working???

    Try the addon Cromulent for the zone info.

  • That's a good tip! Thanks!

  • While I do like this .. I just wish some effort by the addon maker was done in the way of default notes. Instead of leaving it up to the user to place default notes up themselves. Its not about the users being lazy. Its about assisting those who use it and may not know all the areas. And where certain locations are to have them up by default. Then giving those users the ability to edit those default notes like normal.

    Why exactly does this need an "update"? It works just fine in the current WoW patch.

    Learn how to checkmark "Load out of date AddOns" in your AddOns frame on the character screen before logon.

    Dear AddOn author,

    Recent Information from WowMatrix: These Addons (in bold) cannot be installed or updated at this time, because it is being hosted at either Curse or WoWInterface.
    Both of those websites do not wish to have updaters connect to their sites, and have deliberately blocked updaters from doing so, starting right on the day of the 3.1 patch.
    Although we do not agree with the actions of these sites, we respect their position in this matter, and are working on ways to bring you a quality selection of AddOns without connecting to these sites.
    If any of these AddOns (in bold) come with a free distribution license (such as GPL, BSD, public domain, etc.), let us know and we should be able to get it back online relatively quickly by hosting it on our servers.
    Otherwise, if you know the author(s) of these AddOns, you may wish to get in touch with them and see if they would like to host their
    AddOn(s) on our servers, and have them contact us if they do.
    In the meantime, thank you for your patience and understanding.


    Here's my list of WoW AddOns. The bold AddOns are currently unable to be installed or updated through WowMatrix and I would ask you to please contact WowMatrix at http://www.wowmatrix.com/ to host your AddOn(s) on the WowMatrix servers, as this is the easiest way to update multiple addons, as well as it is less risky than using Curse client. I personally refuse to use Curse client because I have heard too many horror stories of people's WoW accounts getting compromised as a direct result of using that service.

    Thank you in advance,
    Diana Peek
