SimpleCoords creates a movable window that displays the player's location as coordinates.
Many hint and help web sites (Thottbot, WoWHead, etc.) use these coordinates to help players find objects or characters in the game.
SimpleCoords also allows you to enter coordinates and display them on the minimap.
Version 1.2 and beyond also puts a dot on your main map.
To Use:
· Quit the World of Warcraft application.
· Unpack the .zip file into your /World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons directory like any other addon.
· Restart World of Warcraft.
A new window with your current location will appear.
Hold down the SHIFT key and drag the window to your preferred location.
To find a location:
Clicking the location (without the SHIFT key) will open a panel where you can enter the coordinates you are looking for.
Press RETURN to put this location on your minimap and your zone map.
If the location is outside of the mimimap boundaries, it will display an arrow pointing in the direction of entered location.
SimpleCoords uses the amazing Astrolabe Library by James Carrothers. (Included in the package)

Optional Files - SimpleCoords
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
Works like a charm, and shows up both on the minimap and the world map...but...how do I remove the waypoint if I want to without actually delete the cords where I first typed them in, and then hit enter again?
Originally posted by jaadis There was some texture and graphical coordinate issues with the mod (Arrow is misplaced and minimap icon is showing 2 blurry lines instead of dot) so i looked into SimpleCoords.lua, These changes fix it all:
line 31:
mapIcon:SetHeight(16)
mapIcon:SetWidth(16)
line 36:
texture:SetTexCoord(0.875, 1, 0, 0.5)
line 115:
local x = .03875* math.cos(angle + HALF_PI) + 0.05375
local y = .03875* math.sin(angle + HALF_PI) + 0.05375
I'll look into the arrow issue (hadn't seen that).
The dot image has been replaced and is working now.

I was just wondering it says that to Press RETURN to put this location on your minimap.If u use a laptop it dont have a return button. So how do i add the location to the mini map?
