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://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.
Hello, are you ever going to allow changing the icons to something else? The green dots and arrow are visually outdated. Used the addon for many years, would love some options. Thanks.
Got his error today:
1x [ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED] AddOn 'TomTom' tried to call the protected function 'GetPlaystyleString()'.
[string "@!BugGrabber\BugGrabber.lua"]:519: in function <!BugGrabber\BugGrabber.lua:519>
[string "=[C]"]: in function `GetPlaystyleString'
[string "@FrameXML\LFGList.lua"]:1011: in function `LFGListEntryCreation_OnPlayStyleSelected'
[string "@FrameXML\LFGList.lua"]:647: in function `LFGListEntryCreation_Show'
[string "@FrameXML\LFGList.lua"]:579: in function <FrameXML\LFGList.lua:567>
TomTom does not call the function
GetPlaystyleString()
directly or indirectly. Blizzard sometimes blames the wrong addon.In reply to Ludovicus_Maior:
Huh, weird. But I think you're right, I've seen other addons being accused of the same thing, at times when they shouldn't even be loaded. Probably a Blizzard bug.
My crazy arrow has disappeared... nothing I've tried has brought it back. Please help.
I used the /tway arrow command and got this message:
CrazyArrow not hijacked
Crazy Arrow not visible
Waypoint not Valid
Waypoint distance=nil
Until a couple of days ago it always helped me get to my quests and my way points but now it's just gone
First, thanks for including the output of /tway arrow !
The arrow is not showing because there is no waypoint set: "Waypoint not Valid".
If you are not using a questing addon like wow-pro, then TomTom needs to be told to query the quest objectives to point to the right place. Type /tomtom to get the addons options window open for TomTom, then select the "Quest Objectives" menu and then make one or both check-boxes are active.
Also, make sure the "Arrival distance" is not 0, as I have heard from some folks that it buggy, but I have never caught it doing something wrong.
I hope that helps!
When I put in multiple coordinates in a macro, it only shows the last map pin link on my map. Not sure what I need to do to see more than 1 at a time.
Been this way for a long time, but reporting ppl afk in bg's always brings up an error to disable or ignore the addon.
also, using the 'item upgrade' for pvp gear (dont have any pve gear to try) but all pvp gear upgrades get a ignore/disable message.
Hi, I can't get the arrow to display anymore. Ever since the recent updates it's been invisible and won't reappear even after a fresh install.
In reply to EnkerZan:
I'm not sure how to help, are you certain you downloaded the version appropriate for your game version. Which version are you playing on? Can you see any other TomTom features?
TomTom does not set any arrows itself, so if you're expecting things to pop up automatically then it's likely another addon you're having an issue with. Let me know what you find out!
Yes,. Cladhaire/Jnwhiteh are the same. It should only be available on Wowinterface, Curse, and Wago so if you see it somewhere else please let me know!
In reply to jnwhiteh:
Thanks for the addon! Do you plan to host and release on github too?
In reply to Pendelhaven:
I host and release on wowinteface, curse, and wago on every release. I could add Github but are the others not sufficient?
In reply to jnwhiteh:
That being said it IS on Github, just a private repo which I find my suitable to my needs.
In reply to jnwhiteh:
Thanks for the reply. I was enquiring about a possible github release because it seems an increasing number of people prefer to use independent addon managers to update directly from github rather than to download from the various addon hosters.
In reply to Pendelhaven:
That makes sense. I'm not sure I want to shift in that direction just yet, but there's a possibility if we need to!
Anyone else not seeing the arrow? like.. at all??? i am updated to v.3.0.4... stopped working with wow-pro
In reply to kaseyd24:
Sorry, try updating to 3.0.6 I had some issues with the packaged versions which seemed to be causing some troubles.
On WowUp it says "Game Version 1.14.2" for the v3.0.4 update. Is that a bad WowUp link again that will mess up stuff?Probably nothing on your end, I went and asked in wowup discord.
Question, is this addon also being hosted elsewhere under the name "Cladhaire"? I dont want to download something if its not from the same dev.
