Why is my map location off

#0 - Oct. 24, 2010, 11:22 a.m.

on some maps my location and coordinates are shown improperly

I can't quite figure it out but when the map is smaller and quests are listed sometimes my location marker on the map (the arrowhead) is in the spot where I would be if the map were full size. sometimes it's the reverse.

what's up?

I have no map addon

Q u o t e:

OK, I'll bite.

Where are the co-ordinates coming from if you have no map add-ons?

That's not fair, that was going to be my question :)

I'd try a full reset UI first, you may have legacy issues even if you aren't currently running any addons.

To do a full reset UI, you will want to save your addons in another spot if you wish to preserve them.

Then rename/delete or move your WTF, Cache and Interface folders while WoW is shutdown. Reboot your system.

Note, if you are running Vista make sure your permissions are set so it does not undo your changes.

More detailed instructions for different operating systems, including Macs are here.
