Description

WayBook turns the waypoints you already save with TomTom into a browsable, searchable address book. Instead of hunting through a flat list, you get your locations grouped by zone or by tag, color-coded, and annotated however you like.

Requires TomTom. WayBook does nothing without it.

Full user's guide here

WHAT IT DOES

  • Search across labels, zones, and notes. Words are matched in any order, so "bank org" and "org bank" both find the Orgrimmar bank.
  • Group by zone, by tag, or not at all, with the controls right under the search box. Tag grouping is true many-to-many: a waypoint tagged "Auctioneer, Klaxxi, Quartermaster" shows up under all three headers.
  • Sort by label, visit count, last visited, or distance, in either direction.
  • Tag once, reuse forever. Define a tag the first time you need it and pick it from a dropdown after that. Tags nobody uses anymore prune themselves out of the list.
  • Automatic tags. Save a waypoint while targeting an NPC and WayBook tags it Rare or Elite where that applies, along with its reputation faction and its role, like Flight Master or Quartermaster.
  • Notes on any waypoint. Free text, and the search box reads them.
  • Visit tracking. WayBook counts how many times you have been somewhere and remembers when you were last there.
  • Live distance. Turn on the distance column or sort nearest-first, and both update as you move.
  • Pick your columns. Label, zone, tags, coordinates, visits, distance, in whatever combination you want.
  • Quest markers. Anything tagged "Quest" shows a book icon on its row.
  • Its own map art. Waypoints you add through WayBook show the WayBook logo on the world map and a gold arrow on the minimap, both a little larger than TomTom's default, so your saved places stand out from everything else marking your map. Waypoints made any other way keep your TomTom theme.
  • Share and export. Shift-click a row for a copyable /way line, or drop it straight into your chat box. Export the whole book at once, or just what your search currently matches.
  • Collapse to a bar. Optional, off by default. A small draggable bar switches the list on and off with a click, so WayBook stays reachable without occupying the screen.
  • Colorblind-friendly palette, using the Okabe-Ito color set, as a one-click option.
  • A tabbed window. List, Options, Sort/Auto-Tag and Display sit along the bottom, so there is no separate options window to lose track of.
  • Resizable. Drag the corner grip and the list widens with the window. The size is remembered along with the position.
  • A live preview on the Display tab, so you can see what the font and tag size sliders are doing without switching away from them.
  • Four key bindings, none of them bound by default.
  • Everything saves per character, because different characters want to remember different places.

GETTING STARTED

Type /waybook or /wb, or bind a key under Key Bindings. Click Add Waypoint to save wherever you are standing, or target something first to name the waypoint after it. Left-click a row to point the arrow at it. Right-click one to edit its label, note, coordinates, and tags.

Runs on Retail and on Mists of Pandaria Classic, both tested. Open source under the MIT license.
