Red face Carbonite replacement?

I have no idea how much longer Carbo is going to be viable and I'm wondering if there is a Map out there that functions like Carbonites? The Map and quest tracker is all I use of Carbonites anymore and figure I might as well start looking for alternatives.

Unfortunately, I believe the Carb map is the only one of it's kind still working with the current version of WoW. Atlas or Cartographer were the only ones that looked similar if I recall, but I don't believe they zoomed the same way.

As for replacing Carbonite, here's what I use:

For the Quest Watch Frame:
Who Framed Watcher Wabbit

For the Crazy Arrow:
TomTom

To show quest pins on the map based on complete/incomplete/daily etc like Carbonite's parchment icons:
Wholly

For the Wholly addon to have a DB of all the Quests:
Grail

Sadly, I don't have a replacement for the "look and feel" of Carb's maps.Hope this helps.

I would also recommend QuestHubber for showing incompleted quest pins on the map.

I've never used Carbonite so I'm not sure what the map looks like but I use Mapster for my map and it's great and customizable

Honestly I stopped using Carbonite a long LONG time ago when blizzard implemented their own quest tracking system. I was a long time Carbonite fan, but it seems that blizzard implemented much of what it had already into their client. Saves me memory and it suites my needs. I always did wonder why people still keep using addons like QuestHelper and Carbonite. Either way they were great addons for the time.

Now the map of Carbonite that's one thing I do miss. It was fantastic!

Cartographer3 aimed to provide the same kind of minimap/satellite style map, but ckknight abandoned it along with all his other addons, and nobody ever picked it up. If anyone was interested in continuing the project, they would probably be able to take it over.
