Cartographer

Cartographer is my favourite wow mod. Well, it's right up there with Omen, Recount, xPerl... anyhow, I know a few people have installed it lately and are loving it too.

For those who don't know, Cartographer does a bunch of things (as long as you download the appropriate modules) - it shows instance maps and boss loot, it tracks the location of other guild members running Cartographer on your world map, and it shows the location of all the mining, herbing and fishing nodes. With the Cartographer_routes module, it will draw a path between nodes to show you the fastest route to take while farming - and it has seriously cut my farming time in half. It is amazing.

The whole thing is a bit tricky to set up though, and I've been meaning to write up some instructions for a while, but hadn't got around to it. Fortunately, someone else has done it for me! So, if you ever mine or herb, go grab this mod, it is awesome.
