Client Version: 3.4.3

Rating:

TomTom is your personal navigation assistant in World of Warcraft. This addon is very simple, but provides a nice set of functionality.

Thanks to Esamynn for Astrolabe, which used to do the bulk of the work in this addon, before Blizzard changed the mapping system.

Thanks to Nevcairiel for HereBeDragons, which now does the bulk of the work in this addon,

 

Bugs and Support (PLEASE READ)
Unfortunately I have been forced to disable user comments on Curse.com. For some absurd reason the site has stopped sending me emails when you guys post a new comment, making me completely unable to provide support via this means. I am still happy to provide assistance, both on Curseforge and Wowinterface:

TomTom offers the following major features:

  • Set waypoints via command, or by clicking on the world map
  • A draggable coordinate display with customizable accuracy. This frame can be hidden or locked.
  • Player and cursor coordinates on the World Map (these can be hidden)
  • A floating “crazy-taxi” style arrow that points you to your destination
  • Displaying the “crazy-taxi” arrow or coordinate block in compatible LDB displays, such as NinjaPanel
  • Show a waypoint that points you towards your corpse for easy recovery
  • Can set waypoints by clicking on quest objective POIs on the World Map and watch frame.

Slash Commands:
/tomtom – Opens configuration GUI

In addition you can use the /way command to add and reset waypoints. In order to overcome conflicts with the Cartographer /way command, you can also use /tway to access TomTom’s waypoint command. The following slash commands are available:

Slash Command Description
/tway 14.78 23.9 Add a new waypoint at 14.78, 23.90
/tway Nagrand 45 50 Add a new waypoint in Nagrand at 45, 50
/tway 14.78 23.90 This is a waypoint! Add a new waypoint with a description
/tway reset all Remove ALL current waypoints
/tway reset Nagrand Remove all waypoints in Nagrand
/wayb or /wayback Sets a waypoint at the current location
/cway or /closestway Set the crazy arrow to the closest waypoint
/tway list List the current known waypoints
/tway arrow Print the status of the Crazy Arrow

TomTom has been designed to publish the Crazy-Arrow and Coordinate Block as LDB feeds, allowing them to be displayed in compatible display addons. I’ve written a very simple, easy-to-configure panel that is capable of displaying these called NinjaPanel.

If you’re looking to bulk import waypoints (to track achievements, etc), a community member has provided a great addon that lets you do this easily. Take a look at Paste.

 

Donations:

Some folks have asked for how they can donate money, and for many years I’ve enjoyed hearing about how my addons have helped other people enjoy World of Warcraft. If you would like to donate, I’d ask you to make a donation to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, a worthy organisation that helped my sister immensely from her diagnosis through her final years. If you or a family member suspect you might have something not right in your butt, please have a doctor check it out. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers in the world.
