Description
Wayfinder is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon that adds a compass banner at the top of your screen. It shows which way you're facing relative to north, east, south and west, so it's easy to find your bearings in familiar and unfamiliar places alike.
Key Features
- Compass Banner: A clean, minimal banner showing your facing in real time, with a choice of detail from just the cardinal directions to a full ring of tick marks.
- Tracking Integration: A marker, distance and ETA on the compass for whatever you're super-tracking: quests, waypoints, area POIs, taxi nodes, and your own corpse. The ETA is a steady countdown that works on foot, mounted, flying and Skyriding.
- Optional Banner Background: A soft dark fade behind the banner (Subtle, Medium or Strong) so the directions stay readable over bright scenery.
- Optional Center Line: Hide the line at the middle of the banner if you'd rather not have it.
- Configurable: Everything is in a settings page styled after Blizzard's own (Escape > Options > AddOns, or
/wayfinder settings), with slash commands for the rest. Drag the banner wherever you like.
Supported clients
- WoW: Forever: fully supported
- Retail: supported
- Classic Era: experimental. The compass banner and its options work; SuperTracking (marker, distance and ETA) isn't available there.
The banner hides itself wherever the game doesn't report which way you're facing (inside most dungeons, for example) and comes back on its own. The settings page tells you when that's happening.
