Just grabbed Cartographer today and (like all Ace mods I've found) I like it. Unfortunately I think I'll be sticking with AlphaMap for now even with the huge custom textures it uses. One of the main things I like about ALphaMap is that it doesn't register mouseclicks so I can have it open and be steering/navigating at the same time.
When asking a guard where an NPC is, have the option to set as a Map Note.
As well as if not an or... when standing at an NPC be able to add them to map note at your location. Some npcs would be nice to add for more permanant resources. i.e. reagent vendor or some such.
First of - brilliant work and shiny as always, ck :)
I definitely second this feature request, that's almost the only reason I'm still using Metamap - the Knowledge Base. Somehow I'd like to see it working different. MM does scan all targets in a given range and adds shitloads of NPC. I'd find it handy to only add NPC that I've talked to or where I bought from.

Very shiny, indeed.
I, erm ... sixth the feature wish for Magellan and NoteTarget behaviousr. (And I'm also wondering if I'm going to be able to gimmick my copy of Better Waypoints to work with Cartographer ...)
Very (very) nice. As for an anti-feature request, please don't add KB functionality as MetaMap has or herb/ore gathering (as Gatherer & CT_MapMod have). Databases=memory used. Unless such feature LUAs are totally separate & can either be manually deleted or are individual load-on-demand components (where the main Cartographer scripts can work without them).
One feature I'd like to see is this being able to import existing map notes from the old MapNotes (what I have been using) or MetaMap or CT_MapMod. Am not using the existing notes component of Cartographer because of my heaps of old notes I can't live without (BTW, MapNotes works just fine in conjunction with Cartographer). Enough of the requests (damn it); I'll put this up on your suggestions page.
Cartographer is my replacement for AlphaMap/MetaMap/etc.
It is modular and very efficient.
Yes, yes. But as the features others requested are not in yet (KB, gathering, etc.), it doesn't mean that (if they are going in) they will necessarily be modular as well ;).
A bit offtopic, but @Zidomo ... MetaMap is modular, just delete the MetaMapXYZ folders that you don't want. All I use is MetaMap and MetaMapBLT (BoosLootTables) ... on a new version I start one time with MetaMapCVT (thats the import modul) to import the instance map notes - after that I delete MetaMapCVT.
