Thanks to Mathius in Trac, I think I have this worked out so that importing from MetaMap can take place. I'm at work and can't test it until late tonight, but you are welcome to give it a try.
..edit..
As of 3-2-07, I updated "Cartographer_Import" to include Metamap support. Simply copy/paste your MetaMap.lua saved variable file from the WTF folder and put it in the Cartographer_Import directory. You'll also need "Cartographer_Icons" and "Cartographer_Icons_Metamap" installed.
I made the modifications to the files as instructed above and it looks like upon login, it it pulling in the notes, but I think it isn't mapping the icons correctly as none of them are showing up (the notes).
Looks like it is just picking up Old World notes and Outland "gathering" items from MetaMap.
You are sure right. I ran it when I got home and it didn't import any of the notes from the new zones. I got a chance to look over it this morning and it appears that the new zones aren't declared in the "zones" table that the Import.lua file uses.
..edit..
This fix has been made in the "Cartographer_Import" file located on the SVN. Removing code info.
I'll try tonight... if, for some reason this doesn't work, then I'll just go MetaMap Notes ==> MapNotes ==> Cartographer... oh what fun that will be :)
Barracuda: You needed to put the Metamap.lua file in the Cartographer_Import folder. Keep in mind that this is the Metamap.lua from the WTF folder, not the Metamap folder in your ADDON directory.
I realize you are all fixed, but I thought I would mention it for others.
Here is imported version of file from first post (Brian Kopp gide? :)
The attached file in the first post is from the Brian Kopp 1-70 guide. I would be leary about distributing copyrighted work, regardless of how valid the copyright may be.
I can't imagine how useful that file is without the guide. It appears that all the titles are simply the coords with no description of what is at the coords. Is it a questgiver, do I have the quest, have I already done the quest? And so on...
My recommendation would be to instead download Cartographer_QuestObjectives and recruit as many guild members into using it as you can. Eventually, you'll have a pretty comprehensive database that the whole guild can use for leveling.
I've been requested by Brian Knopp to remove the file from the site. Please do not use wowace's forums or other parts of the site to redistribute the files.
im sorry it was not my intent to distribute brians work... it was just a example for the importing.
its just a bunch off coords and you cant do anything without the rest of the guide.
I understand and I'm not trying to scold or anything of the nature. I just wanted to explain why I deleted it, rather than just having it poof and people wondering why. He did send me a polite email with a set of facts and proof regarding them. While I agree that its probably useless and i understand that its perfectly possibile to assemble the same set of cords without his help I don't care to set a bad and potentially harmful precedent.
No harm has been done, and now we shall live in peace :)
i do not shame you or brian to remove the file.. its his right to do this and i better had maybe give another file for example.
just wanted to say that i dont want to redistribute it in a bad intent
1) I have metamap disabled, prolly no need for it since I'm going to copy its lua somewhere else...
2) I have just about every cartographer addon installed. I don't know if it makes a difference but maybe if I dont have herbalism installed and enabled, it wont import? I don't know.
3) I have the Cartographer_Icon and the Cartographer_Icon_metamap installed and running.
4) Exit WOW. (I had it running to do the import, but there is no in-game option for it that I can find.)
5) Copy \WoW\WTF\Account\myaccount\SavedVariables\metamap.lua to
\WoW\Interface\AddOns\Cartographer_Import\metamap.lua
6) Start Wow and ... see what happens... stay tuned for my next exciting post.
There was no system message at all about cartographer.
I've had cart and metamap installed for a bit, not sure how much is missing or what, but I'm pretty much tired of dealing with it. I'm going to miss metamap's sidelist of local NPCs and mobs.

a working import.lua is attached
But i had to load Metamap completely. only adding the metamp.lua to the toc wasnt enough.
Thank you all again, could someone be bothered to put this thread into the faq ?

Am I supposed to press a button somewhere?
