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 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.
This addon is definitely a heavyweight in the world of warcraft. BUT its missing something. Something that everyone needs to accurately post waypoints on wowhead, discord, emails, etc.... it needs a recorder.
I'm thinking of something like a 4 button frame. A button to stop and start recording, a button to add a plot with the current location and the correct zone name(wowhead posts always screw up zonename), and a button to copy to clipboard or at least display a big text box where we can "select all" and copy. Ok, maybe not a dialog, but at least the option to create some macro'ed commands to do the same stuff.
(edit)
Then, how about a "/tway FormattedListReadyForUse" ?
Hello, I would like to know why my tomtom waypoints are like this small Thanks
I have Zygor and dugi (both have some advantages over the other)
Whoa! Those are tiny! I can tell you that without Zygor and Dugi, they are considerably larger.
There is an issue open to allow TomTom's icons to be changed in size, but I suspect one of those two addons is interfering with map/icon placement, so it may not help as much as you need.
In reply to Ludovicus_Maior:
Hello again,
Waypoint bigger with Zygor deactivated
Seems to be Zygor but i can't seem to see what option interfere with the icon size or the fact that sometimes, I only have the minimap icon and the arrow to guide myself since the waypoints don't appear on the map
Might be tied to zygor too
Thanks
In reply to cpt_jabberwock:
It is definitely Zygor. AFAIK it's because they make changes to HereBeDragons, which most map addons use. Last response I had from Zygor was 3 days ago that they were still looking into it. See #1284 for links to the issue.
Great work on the addon! A few notes:
- Typing /tomtom doesn't take you straight to the TomTom options. The first time typing it just brings up the Interface window (but on the "Game" tab), and typing it again, switches to the AddOn tab. You always have to manually click down to the TomTom menu item.
-
Coordinate Block positioning doesn't seem to save properly across sessions (both on the toon where it was set, and other toons using the same profile). It's around where I placed it, but a fair bit off. I did change the height and width from the default, so maybe the position isn't taking those into account?After some more use, seems the positioning does save across sessions, but not across toons when first logging in with them after changing the settings/positioning on another toon. Essentially, you have to reposition the block on every toon, even when they are all using the same exact TomTom profile (default). After doing this once on each toon, seems to be ok, but might be nice to make that positioning be retained across all toons.- Coordinate Block stays visible during pet battles. Other UI elements generally get hidden.
Thanks!
I get this error:
[ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN] AddOn 'TomTom' tried to call the protected function 'UseQuestLogSpecialItem()'.
!BugGrabber\BugGrabber.lua:519: in function <!BugGrabber\BugGrabber.lua:519>
[C]: in function `UseQuestLogSpecialItem'
...ObjectiveTracker\Blizzard_ObjectiveTrackerShared.lua:95: in function <...ObjectiveTracker\Blizzard_ObjectiveTrackerShared.lua:88>
Locals:
InCombatSkipped
Followed by me not being able to use quest items through the quest tracker.
TomTom does not call UseQuestLogSpecialItem(), so some other addon has tainted the function. Unfortunately, you were in combat, so BugGrabber did not list your addons.
Can you provide me with a list of other addons? Any addons what that work with quest objectives, UI modifiers, and world quest trackers are the most likely suspects.
If you have reproduced with issue with NO other addons except for TomTom and BugGrabber active, then it has to be TomTom's fault, much to my dismay.
Sorry but not better for me.
When farming rares in Nazjatar and Mechagon, you see a bunch of /1 messages with simples coordinates, e. g. rustfeather 61 76. Everyone (without a rare addon) who uses TomTom has to type then /way 61 76. It would be really cool, if you just could click on the chat coordinates and it automatically sets the TomTom waypoint.
You could either make every coordinates clickable or introduce a specific format, e. g. with square bracket: Hey, rustfeather is up [61 76]
Someone else asked for that. Right now , text in the chat window is not even selectable, let alone clickable, unless it is a hyperlink.
I could add an option to TomTom to send a hyperlink to the chat window with your target and its coordinates that would be clickable.
Hmm.
would love to see an option to change the way point arrow's frame strata.
this is a Quality of Life Improvement imo.
Wow. Now that is an interesting request. Is it being covered or covering something. A screenshot is worth many words.
In reply to Ludovicus_Maior:

it's being covered by other stuff.
dont think the screen represents anything but here is why i asked for the request
at 8.2, we are more dependent to arrow once again for the rares and chest coordinates, but navigating with World Map on is kinda difficult.
i know i can move the arrow to elsewhere since my world map is scaled at 80%, but the arrow has to be there.
moreover, some players play with 100% scaled World Map.
since the waypoint is blocked by the World Map and especially now that the world map has a lot more icons from the trending addons(like the ones in my picture)
some icons can automatically create waypoint and some cant onclick, so if we cant visually tell the waypoint is changed, we wont know if we are actually heading to the right direction
OK. I can make it so that the arrow will not be hidden by the world map, and can be adjusted. However, I see you are using Zygor, and I can't guarantee that my changes will work well with that map.
Lemme see what I can do.
In reply to Ludovicus_Maior:
yeah that's fine, im happy to turn that off
thank you for your consideration
Cool. Look for it in the next release:

Just a thank you from a player with horrible vision issues for keeping this addon current <3
How do i turn on the Green Dots on the World Map?
