What Map addon do you use?

Man with all the map addons I see here, I was wondering what one you would recommend? Which one do you think is best coming with preloaded with NPC locations in throughout the world? How about ease of use, stability and such. So many of the map addons are highly rated very hard to make a choice.

Thanks,

Bellator

Atlas
Instance Maps w/ boss locations and loot tables
There is a plugin called AtlasMajorCities that comes with loads of NPC's already marked on the map (trainers, vendors etc..).

Atlas is, IMO, the best instance map addon. You can use it with Metamap or Cartographer, no conclicts.

MetaMap
Feature rich map addon (see link for all features). It can record moused over npc's and allow searches for them later. Shows location icons on the world map and minimap. It does not come preloaded with any npc's but you can download and import other users databases

I would suggest Metamap, tbh. It comes with just about every feature a map addon can have while still being fairly easy to use.

Cartographer
Similar to Metamap, this one will record npc's such as vendors and trainers (requires the respective plugins). It will create icons/notes on your worldmap.

I personaly prefer Cartographer w/ plugins. Its Ace2 and the plugins rock. Plus its easier on the o'l puter

I lke very much cartographer, metamap give me some issues like in map icons randomly placed (did you know if camp taurajo is in Tanaris? ).
I need maps notes, mining nodes traking and the chance to see also unknown map places.
