Future versions of Town Guard will appear as part of the new WoW++ project.

Summary

Never ask a guard again! Town Guard adds multiple icons to your minimap while you're in any city, village or outpost, whether guards are available in that location or not. The icons appear for a short time after you enter an area, then move out of your way until you mouse over the minimap. These icons are visibly distinguishable (they're not all red flags), and indicate locations guards don't even know about, including repair merchants, reagent vendors, poison vendors, flight masters, trainers and more. Additionally, the addon is smart enough to show only icons that might interest you, so a Mage doesn't have to sift through stable master and Rogue trainer icons to find icons of importance.

Credits

MANY thanks to Esamynn for the fantastic Astrolabe library that makes this addon possible. A lot of work has gone into the coding and data collection for Town Guard, but without the Astrolabe library, the payoff wouldn't have been worth the tremendous effort necessary to complete the addon.

Thanks to Keiroe of Alliance Kil'Jaeden for suggesting some of the earlier improvements, including reagent vendors and stable masters.

Thanks to Dan Donnan for helping me gather data - he volunteered his free time to explore and document 13 zones.

Thanks to Nebechenezer of Alliance Kil'Jaeden for helping me gather data - he volunteered his free time to explore and document several zones.
