Thanks for making this addon. This made my leveling so much easier. I will never remove this addon. Thanks again.

Worked for me! Thanks Zab!!

I fixed it, hopefully not breaking other stuff. I'm not a programer!

I have found a post sayig that other mapping software is also having problems because of a library called "Astrolabe" which breaks with 3.1.

Here is what I did:

Download "gatherer" 3.13 (latest). look for Astrolabe directory. Copied Astrolabe directory to SimpleCoords directory, replacing its older version of Astrolabe.
No more Lua errors and it works like a charm.

Perhaps the author can verify that this works fine for everybody and doesn't break their system.
Try it on your own risk. I can't help if it doesn't work for you.

Zab

Ooops. Meant that I'm having this issue live since the patch, not in PTR. I've had to disable SimpleCoords, and I miss it.

what

Since it would be nearly impossible to accurately calculate the time between point a and point b, given the number of path curves and impassable terrain obatacles, and other variables (e.g. your character and now your mount, as of the 3.1 patch, slow down when moving through water (although my druid in aquatic form, with the addition of glyphed embelishment, moves pretty quickly through water...), such an enhancement is highly unlikely to be created.

this allows you to enter coordinates and display them on the minimap (in a second by a click, no need to open some map and create a note and bla bla). All players need this, because Quest helper comments say always go to "xx yy", cant belive isnt updated or isnt another addon like this, instead we have lots of other stupid and hard to understand addons sry to say

Ditto.

Love this addon, one of my top favs. Please fix....please.

I know it's not out yet, but I figured I'd post this here just in case you're wondering if you need to update this mod for 3.1. I get this error on the PTR:

It also spam causes the error resulting in 'a large number of errors' pop-up asking if you want to disable AddOns.

In any case, I very much enjoy using this AddOn and would like to see it continue to be updated as WoW is itself. Hopefully this helps towards a future build for 3.1.

lol I didn't want to register just to make this post, so I guessed at a login and password and it worked...

Anyways, I love this addon, only thing I'd like to see is once you put in your coords and the arrow pops on the mini map a "Time to that spot would be great kinda like how questhelper shows how long to get to the spot...

Hi, can you please save the location of the frame so I don't have to move it every time I load the addon? I don't always need coordinates (eg when I pvp, raid) and It's a pain to move the frame every time I load it. I'm not sure why you would have the default location be in the exact center of the screen. At the very least, have it load at the right side of the screen. Even better yet, put it in a useful place, like by the minimap. Yes I know Blizzards FrameXML code sucks, but It wouldnt be very hard for you to do this, just a few lines of code.
