Chinchilla Minimap  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v2.13.0
by: ckknight, Ravendwyr

Chinchilla Minimap alters the Blizzard Minimap in a way to provide much nicer features and other niceties.

Appearance

Allows changing of blip size (useful since 3.1), border style, shape of the map (doesn't have to be circular, or even square, lots of options are available), size, etc.
Auto zoom
Zoom out the map automatically after 20 seconds (or so).
Compass
A more flexible north-east-south-west indicator.
Coordinates
Show your location coordinates
Expander
Make the minimap very big temporarily (good for gathering or finding a tough-to-spot enemy).
Location
Show the name of your location more flexibly.
Move buttons
Move the buttons around the minimap to wherever you want (even off the minimap entirely).
Ping
Show which team-mate pinged the minimap
Position
Position the minimap and frames around it.
Range circle
Show on the minimap where your range extends to
Show / Hide
Show or hide various frames related to the minimap
Tracking dots
Change the dots on the map to a different set of images. Very handy, especially if you suffer from colorblindness.
Wheel zoom
Mousewheel to zoom the minimap

I have a problem in that I move the minimap to the bottom of the screen, the problem is the tracking bars seem to reside below it, and I cannot see an option in the chinchilla to move that particular bar, I can move others, but not that one.
So I cannot track the achievements I want bcos I cannot see them

Is there a way to move it?
Is there another addon that will move it?

and no, I cannot move the minimap, every part of my desktop is allocated something and nothing can move for the minimap to be relocated

Having the same issue. Can't remove the location text or the bar. Thanks for getting it out there though.

Blizzard bug. Chinchilla is not at fault there.

At least as of 3.3.3 this option seems to not be there. I'm stuck with the quest tracker frame attached to the lower side of the mini-map.

Blizzard decided to remove that option for some strange reason.
But if you download the latest version of Chinchilla from Curse or have a look at Who Framed Watcher Wabbit you will be able to move it again.

Not hiding buttons

Every time I log in or reload my UI I have to manually go back in and hi "Enable" for the show/hide buttons two to get it to go away. The buttons is not checked but all the buttons are shown. I have to hit it to check the box, then again to uncheck it at which time it finally hides everything. Any ideas?

I simply love this addon and use it in conjunction with minimap button frame What would make this combo perfect, is an option for flashing(blinking) nodes.

Again thanks for all the hard work
