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 does the bulk of the work in this addon.
TomTom offers the following major features:
/way 14.78 23.90
/way Nagrand 45 50
/way 14.78 23.90 This is a waypoint!
/way reset all
/way reset Nagrand
/wayb Here
/wayback
/cway
/closestway

I've posted a version with the updated Astrolabe. The issue with the first waypoint sometimes being wrong until you open the map (or any of a few other conditions happen) should be fixed now. I've also included the options for scaling/alpha on the title and a few other things that have been asked for (such as a way to reset the coord block via the menu).
As always, please let me know if you have any issues.

I use Quest Helper.
Now, sometimes, Quest Helper will have a TT waypoint with two lines of text. Typically when crossing a border, it will say on line one 'go to border' and then on line two it will have the actual objective. I think it's a bug with Quest Helper in that it's not displaying more lines than that. For instance, when you mouseover a questhelper icon on the map, it will say 'acquire item X' and then another line of 'slay monster Z'. However, when TomTom points to the exact same objective, only 'acquire item X' is shown, on only one line, and there's no second line at all. It's possible the code in Quest Helper is not giving the right 'command' to 'name' a TomTom waypoint to have multiple lines in the name. So, my question to you is, what is that 'command' or function name? I'm gonna try to see if I can patch QH to do multi-line waypoint names myself.

Perhaps you could post a screenshot of what is "wrong", and what you want to see.

I read with excitement in the changelog about the new option
Code:
r177 | Cladhaire-15704 | 2008-11-06 10:57:11 +0000 (Thu, 06 Nov 2008) | 4 lines * Added an option to "disable clicks" on the crazy taxi arrow entirely, so you can have clicks pass through I have the "Disable all mouse input" checked in the TomTom->Waypoint Arrow options page. Do I need to do anything else to enable this? All of the above was tested with version r184. Thanks.

Could you maybe add an option that allows the player to choose wether or not they would like to keep the waypoints after getting to them. Like if I set a waypoint and go to the loc it removes the waypoint from my map after I get there. While thats normally not an issue there are some waypoints I'd like to save andn ot have to reset because they delete after getting to them.

I need to know the function to pass something to TomTom so I can find where to edit QH's code. Yes, QH is already using it but since I don't know what the function is, that's why I came here to ask. =P I also need to know the function for newline so I can make the edit in the code.

QuestHelper somewhere is calling TomTom:AddWaypoint() or TomTom:AddZWaypoint(), but you really should let us work through this.. changes to your local code help no one except for you.

Cladhaire, he's saying that, sometimes, QH has objectives on 2 lines, but TomTom, when pointed at the same objectives, only shows one of the 2 lines. I'm pretty sure he explained that in his first post.
He wants to find out whether it's QH's fault or TomTom's. And there I have to agree with Cladhaire, let them figure it out, not you. |

Now, sometimes, Quest Helper will have a TT waypoint with two lines of text. Typically when crossing a border, it will say on line one 'go to border' and then on line two it will have the actual objective. I read this as QH creating a TomTom waypoint with two lines of text, hence my confusion. If TomTom is not displaying "titles" with newlines, that's something I can attempt to fix in TomTom. It may, however, be QuestHelper not sending the whole thing.. which I find unlikely.

Personally, I think it is QuestHelper not sending the whole thing. I can get some screenshots, be right back.
I've already reported this to QuestHelper's author, and he has it on his 'todo list'. I haven't really reported it to you because I don't think it's your bug. The reason I was wanting to try to fix it myself so that I could offer up the patch to QuestHelper's author for him to include in the main version. Since he's too busy to work on this exact issue, I was gonna do it myself. =P

Alrighty, here. This is Questhelper's tooltip:
http://i38.tinypic.com/atsv48.jpg notice three lines of text: 1 - Visit Stormwind Flight Point en route to: 2 - Turn in Quest The Missing Diplomat 3 - Talk to Watcher Backus Here's TomTom's waypoint name: http://i36.tinypic.com/24kwleh.jpg Notice only lines 1 and 2 are shown, and line 3 is not. (Sorry if it's hard to read, I have my alpha to 50%) Only 'borders' and 'flight points' show 2 lines of text in TomTom's arrow (even though 3 are expected, but it at least shows that QH can do more than 1 line). If I was to catch that flight point and actually get to the right zone, then QuestHelper's tooltip would show lines 2 and 3, above, whereas TomTom's arrow would only show line 2. In short, the 'final line' of any objective isn't shown.
