Quest Waypoints?

Is there something I'm missing which will show the quest way points (and an ant trail) on the main map (max minimap disabled) like QuestHelper? 1 very big thing I liked about QH was the ant trails...

Each time you log in or reload WoW, you will need to toggle the "Auto Track" button on the Quest Tracker. It's the Purple one. That will create a waypoint to the nearest quest objective.

Carb goes one waypoint at a time, it does not plot and create ant trails to all objectives at once like QH does.

Here's a quote from the CarboniteReadme.txt file located in the Carbonite Addon folder detailing the Quest Tracker functions:

Quest Watch List

The watch window is draggable but not sizeable. It grows and shrinks as needed based on the quests you are currently watching. The Watch window can be made into a sizeable scrolling list if "Use fixed size list" is checked in the Quest Watch page of the Options window.

The green button toggles if all watched quests will be shown on the map and is on by default.

The purple "Auto Track" button will target the highest priority quest objective and updates dynamically as you move. Priority is based on distance, quest level and if the quest is complete.

The yellow/blue "Quest Givers" button shows Quest Giver icons on the map. Normal ones are shown as parchment icons. Daily quest givers as blue ! icons.

Button colors:
Dark yellow = No givers
Yellow = Quest givers and daily givers
Blue = Daily givers

The white "Show Party Quests" button determines if quests from other party members with Carbonite will also be shown in the Watch List.

Like I said, it does create an ant trail, but only one at a time, namely to your closest objective. So in essence, it actually does the identical thing as far as that feature is concerned to QH.

What happens in QH when you move closer to a diff objective than you were currently tracking? The priority changes and QH re routes you to the objective that is now the closest. Carbonite is identical to that, it just does not consume the additional resources necessary to plot everything at once and constantly update an ant trail leading between 25 different quests. It instead only does one at a time.

But, to each their own. I used QH for awhile, loved it at the time. Then I got my hands on Carbonite, love it even more and stayed with Carbonite for all the features it gave me
