MapNotes functions:
General functions:
- MapNotes has the option to hide Blizzard Dungeon entrances, Delve entrances, Blizzard POIs
- It is possible to display additional tooltip information for MapNotes icons
- All icons can be activated or deactivated separately and all icons can also be hidden or shown with a single click. Called "Hide MapNotes!"
- All icons are clickable (except on the minimap) and have their own function
- You can enable special MapNotes icons that combine multiple additional pieces of information such as "portals/ships/instance" into a single icon. Called “MapNotes Icons”.
- The icons of the enemy faction can also be displayed or hidden. Called “Enemy Faction”
- Normally, on a maximized map, you cannot use instance icons from Blizzard or other addons that would open the adventure guide.
- But not for MapNotes u can use all functions on minimized or maximized maps!
- You can test this by deactivating all instances / dungeon display addons, maximizing the map and then right-clicking on Blizzard's own dungeon icons, then you will exactly hear the sound of Dungeon Journal opening, but nothing happens because Blizzard blocks itself here.
Create and Copy Links:
- This function allows links in the chat to be made clickable links
- By clicking on such a link, a MapNotes Copy&Paste window is created, with which the link is copied from the chat and can be easily copied with CTRL + C
- After copying, the window will close automatically
- Not only web links can be made clickable, but also email addresses, for example
- This function is called "Link" and can be activated or deactivated in the General tab
Automatic Profession detection function:
- Enables automatic tracking of your professions and the associated MapNotes icons of the professions. This hides all profession icons that do not belong to your profession.
- Can be activated or deactivated under the respective category "Profession icons" for Capitals+ or Zone+
Maximized Map function information:
- Immediately after using an instance icon from MapNotes to open the Adventure Guide, if you use the "Show Map" option in the Adventure Guide to switch to the dungeon map, the map will be displayed minimized for better orientation of your character inside the instance. This minimized map function ends when you close the map or when you press the “World Map on/off” button once! ( that you have set in the World of Warcraft 'keyboard settings' under 'Interface function') after which the map is automatically maximized again
Synch function:
- Synchronizes the Zones tab with the Minimap tab
- Which deactivates the functions from the Minimap tab and is now controlled together by the Zones tab
- This will delete all Minimap settings and replace them with those from Zones tab if you now change a setting in the zone tab
- Synchronizes the Capitals tab with the Capitals - Minimap tab
- Which deactivates the functions from the Capitals - Minimap tab and is now controlled together by the Capitals tab
- This will delete all Capitals - Minimap settings and replace them with those from Capitals tab if you now change a setting in the zone tab
Delete function:
- Delete Icons function
- Alt + right click on any icon opens a query with which you can delete this icon for the displayed map
- Deleted icons can be restored for the associated map type.(Zone/Continent/Azeroth/Dungeon/Capitals)
- In the MapNotes menu in the general tab, simply press the corresponding button and the icons will be restored
- For example, if you want to display the mailbox icons in the capitals, more precisely in Orgrimmar, but not all of them, because there are visually too many that would be there in Orgrimmar, you can simply delete a few mailbox icons and only display them where you want them consider important


Restore function:
