Forever Minimap

A bigger, sharper minimap that you can drag around and zoom far out. The game's minimap always stays on you, has six fixed zoom levels and ends at 150 yards. Forever Minimap draws the world from the game's own map tiles, so you can look at the next zone over without opening the big map, and one click brings you back.

• Sharp at any size. From 140 to 700 pixels, resized from the corners. The tiles are drawn at full resolution.
• Drag to look around. Hold the map and pull. The cross hair button or a right click brings it back to you.
• Zoom far out. The wheel goes past the game's last step, up to 6400 yards, which is most of a continent.
• Grow under the mouse. If you like a small map, a setting makes it grow to the left and down while the mouse is over it, by 10 to 100 %.
• Coordinates under the cursor. Point at any spot on the map to see its zone coordinates.
• Waypoints. Ctrl + click sets a waypoint at the spot: a TomTom waypoint when TomTom is loaded, otherwise the game's own. Ctrl + right click clears it, and it clears itself when you get there.
• Show your group a spot. Alt + click sends the spot to your party or raid as the game's map pin, with the zone and coordinates. A click on the link sets the pin for them. Out of a group, it goes into the chat line.
• Ping anywhere. A click pings the spot, also on the dragged or far zoomed map.
• Your group on the far map. Party and raid members show as dots in their class colours when you drag or zoom out.
• Your other addons come along. Questie, GatherLite and TomTom marks stay on the map, in the right place, with their tooltips, while you drag it or zoom far out.
• A tray for addon buttons. If you want, other addons' minimap buttons go into a tray behind one button at the map's corner. Leave it off if a taskbar addon already holds them.
• Three shapes and seven borders. Square, rounded corners or round; none, thin, thick, gold, silver, bronze or your class colour.
• What you need to know, under the map. Coordinates, heading in degrees, zone name and clock, each with a switch. Compass letters and a line showing where you face.
• Send your location. A Shift click on the strip puts Bloodhoof Village, Mulgore 45.7, 64.8 into the chat line, ready to send.
• Out of your way. Separate opacity at rest, while moving, in a rest area and in combat. Opacity 0 in combat hides the map and lets clicks through. It can zoom back by itself after a time you choose.
• Lock it. A setting stops the mouse from moving or resizing it. Dragging still looks around.
• For collectors. With Forever Curios installed, the collectibles you miss show as pins on the map.

How to use it

Commands

Good to know

• Made for the Forever client (Interface 16001).
• The own tiles cover Azeroth and Kalimdor. In instances, inside buildings and on other maps, you get the game's own minimap at its own zoom.
• While you drag or zoom past the game's last step, the map shows the tiles, your arrow, your group and the marks of the addons named above. The game's own blips come back when you return to you.
• Marks of other addons work through HereBeDragons, so an addon that draws its pins another way may not show them on the far zoom.
• Old TomTom waypoints belong to TomTom: /way reset all clears them all.
• Settings are saved per account. A new addon needs a full client restart, not only /reload.
