MetaMap - Amazing WoW Maps Addon

Last time I talked about some cool add ons that change the way you use WoW maps, and I don't want to repeat myself, but I found a really awesome addon you'll want to try out.

It is called MetaMap and it will change just about anything you could want to change in the World of Warcraft maps system. Just for starters, you can adjust the map window size, move the map around anywhere on the screen and adjust the opacity of the map and its window.

Here's a full list of its other features:

Saved sets for toggling between 2 map modes.
Allows full player movement, messaging, etc. with map open.
Adds coords to the main map and the Minimap
Adds Instance maps which open to the correct instance you enter.
Default data included for all bosses & locations etc.
User editable notes for all maps, including instance maps.
NPC/Mob database collectable by mouseover or keypress.
Toggling on/off display of unexplored areas of the map.
Boss Loot Tables displays all the loot dropped by bosses, and more.
Waypoint system to guide you to any set point.
Complete Quest logger with optional history database.
NoteBook module for additional notes, linked to Tooltips.
Inbuilt Import and export facilities for various data formats.
Inbuilt Backup and Restore facilities.
Button on Minimap to open or close the World Map or display MetaMap options.
Key bindings for various MetaMap functions.
Full support for Titan Bar.

I really love the Titan Bar support, since that's one of my favorite mods. I also get a lot of use out of the coordinates on the mini-map. That's a huge help when I'm trying to find a particular NPC and I've only got his location.

If you're like me, you're interested in anything to make your time playing WoW more fun. Things like these addons for WoW maps certainly help. I also have been using the Ultimate World of Warcraft guide. It was a huge help when I switched from Alliance to Horde and I found its 1-70 leveling guides for both factions immensely helpful. I also made frequent use of its money making guide to buy my mount and all my training and equipment. On top of that, it has excellent class guides and tons of detailed maps and quest info. The thing I like best about it is that it is always updated, so I never have to buy another guide again because this one went out of date. Let's see a Prima guide try that for no additional charge. What you'll like is that there's a money back guarantee, so if you try it out and don't like it (I'm not sure that's even possible) they'll refund your money. There's no reason not to give it a shot today!
