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:
http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/tomtom/tickets
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=7032
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.
Is there any chance this addon could be updated to remove all the tainting it does? It's crazy. It functions at a base level but it has all sorts of problems not only with itself, but with other addons.
Or if somebody could recommend a better written addon that does the same thing, that would also be great.
In reply to Tanoshii2k1:
Yes, and it's a huge undertaking. As with most add-ons that don't purposely take any direct action to taint the UI, this happens purely as a result of late expansion changes to the system by Blizzard. The addon was written with the best tech at the time, and then major changes happened elsewhere.
But please stop the hyperbole. What problems does Tomtom have with itself? Have you reported them? Can you explain? Also tomtom doesn't have issues with other addons that I'm aware of. Sure, it does have some tainting relating primarily to tooltips. I get it, it's a project to fix it. But what else are you seeing?
In reply to Tanoshii2k1:
I'm playing with around 100 AddOns and never got any (problematic / function-stopping) taint from TomTom apart from spread through the Ace libs when other AddOns failed.
You shouldn't make exaggerated statements but better create an issue or at least post any bug/error report.
Tainting something in WoW is quite easy and is often blamed on the wrong AddOn by the taint error display, especially when libs are involved.
Regarding an alternative, you could try QuestPointer but that hasn't received a 9.1 update yet.
Hi!How can I hide that frame?Nevermind...Had to scroll down the interface/addons menu a lil bit ... -.-
I'm trying to add waypoints to the map (in TBC classic) by doing ctrl-right click. Instead of adding a waypoint, it zooms out. This also happens if Tomtom is the only installed app.
Always getting ui error disable/ignore from this addon every single time I use it no matter what, it's the only addon I have the issue with. Tried reinstalling, have been through many updates and still the same problem. I'll get the error, disable it for a few months because it's not worth the annoyance, think "surely its fixed by now", update, try again, never is fixed. Why does AAP addon have a functioning arrow that has no issues but there's so many with this one, even with AAP being a way more in depth addon?

How do I disable it? Sorry I don't seem to find this option.Found it, for some reason it didn't load all configuration options.
this addon is very broken and has been broken for many years. too many people have the issue where the waypoint only shows when you're dead. i am rarely able to see the waypoint for actual quests, flight paths, etc. i remember long ago this addon did work, but it obviously has big issues.
i don't see any LUA errors, i've tried by only installing TomTom and it still happens. this was all after a fresh install. the deleting of whatever is recommended to fix this issue does not help at all. please look into your addon!
In reply to xxguy_fierixx:
I'm sorry friend, but you are misremembering what TomTom actually does and ever did. TomTom does not ever create arrows on it's own. You can create arrows via the slash commands (which you can copy from Wowhead). You can create arrows by clicking on the world map. You *used* to be able to click on world POIs to create waypoints, but yes, we've deprecated that feature as of several expansions ago. We look at the addon pretty much every day, and we maintain the addon to make sure its usable across all three expansions. If you're expecting something else to happen, it's probably worth digging into that, because TomTom is working fine for the uses it is intended for. Type /tway 50 50 and you get an arrow, that's what TomTom does primarily. Other addons are able to use that functionality to provide *more*, like telling you where you go on a step by step journey, but they USE TomTom, that is not TomTom.
This keeps happening on the random
In reply to Intervencion:
Unfortunately the system that Blizzard uses tends to report things against the wrong addon, but I have some things I can look into to see if there's anything I can fix. In the meantime you might try enabling the taint.log and see if you can get a more detailed report next time this happens that you could share. Instructions on doing that can be found here, and you can share directly with me (email, PMs, here) if you have one that's blaming TomTom.

BUG: Status always shows as "modified" in Curseforge. Uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't help.
In reply to zonkeroo:
That's something you'll need to take up with the curseforge devs. I personally use Ajour and this issue isn't present (and doesn't show on the main webpage either), so not sure what's happening!
This is a step-by-step report of what I did and what I encountered. As you can see from the edit I made at the end of the original report just moments after submitting this report the first time, I still have the problem.
I am sad to report "Modified" is back. The TomTom addon shows Modified, If this is a new status you have implemented, please let me know.
Otherwise please see if there is a new way to fix this problem since the way used last time did not work.
I clicked on "Report a Bug" for TomTom on the Overwolf launcher and was brought here. I guess this is where I make my report, although the submit button below reads Post Reply? This is not a "reply" to anything. This is a Bug Report. Clicking on the "Issues" tab above gives me a warning that I am leaving this site and since this is to where I was directed I guess I better stay here? I don't know.
I thought someone might want to know that the problem I had before about the Action column changing itself to Modified has just re-appeared. My TomTom addon, which showed "Up to Date" with everything else last night, now shows "Modified". This change has occurred by simply opening the Overwolf CurseForge Beta launcher and it automatically refreshing itself. No action was taken on my part other than opening the launcher.
Before, to fix this status problem, I had to individually reinstall more than half my addons.
This time the dropdown menu did not give me that option so I clicked on "update". I was surprised I didn't get a message with something like it was already the latest version.
It seemed to update itself.
IDK if you would want to know, but the animation regarding the update was a long download-type red line taking almost all the line the addon is on instead of the regular animation showing a shorter red download line that usually only takes part of the line the addon is on starting around the "Latest Version" area.
I am pleased to report the status of TomTom has now changed to "Recently Updated". From here, the status should change to an Up to Date status which should remain until another Update is needed.
I will let you know if this did not permanently fix the problem.
I really hope the Modified-problem is not something that will come and go.
AS A SIDE NOTE: I wish the Overwolf version of CurseForge would open like CurseForge has always opened in the past where the column indicating the status of each addon always showed items that needed some "action" taken would appear at the top of the column and all the addons that were Up to Date always appeared at the bottom of the list. I guess the column always automatically opened in alphabetical order? I never thought about it before, but now I miss that convenience.
EDIT WITH NEW INFORMATION:
I closed both this window and my Overwolf Launcher.
I then opened the launcher and the problem is not fixed
The TomTom addon shows Modified
This time the drop down menu had a Reinstall option. I clicked on that and it appeared to reinstall.
I am giving it a moment before saving changes.
The TomTom addon changed again from Recently Updated and now shows Modified
I deleted TomTom.
I searched for tomtom on the add addons page and added it.

In reply to TheGrandmaGamer:
Hi there! Unfortunately I'm not sure I'm going to be able to help with this, as your issue appears to be with the Curseforge launcher/addon updater. You can see from the webpage that the last update I made was May 19th. I'll try to download the curseforge launcher and see if I can figure something out, but TomTom has been released the same as many other addons so i'm not sure what could be wrong.
In reply to TheGrandmaGamer:
This is an issue the launcher has with several addons. I have a couple it keeps showing as modified, no matter how many times I reinstall or update them. Ignore it and it will show up as needing to be updated when the author pushes an update.
If I get a bug on TomTom Group Member Arrow, am I supposed to submit it here or is it totally separate?
In reply to yessirreebob:
I think that depends on the error and reproduction. It's likely that reporting it to TomTom Group Member Arrow makes the most sense, and they can always reach out to us directly to get support in troubleshooting.
