MapWoW is a nifty site which uses the Google Maps API to let you zoom and pan from Ashenvale to Zul’Gurub. While maps of WoW aren’t rare, the depth of this one seems to have taken the Internet by storm, with sites from Slashdot to Fark covering it. I like the in-game maps, especially with the CT Mod addon that allows you to make notes and use coordinates. However, this is a great alternative if you are looking for that special herb or mining deposit!
In a how-to blurb from their site:
The map utilizes the Google Maps API and therefore behaves just a like a Google Map. Clicking on the controls on the left side of the map will let you zoom in and out. Dragging the map around lets you scroll the map and view different areas. It’s that easy.
Use the menu to the right of the map to select resources and labels that you wish to display. Currently you can display herbs, ore, treasure, zone names, and city names. There are over 15,000 data points covering 69 resources with their exact map location in our database. The bottom of the menu provides quick links to popular locations in the game.
