My first post, and first contribution, a simple program made in Autohotkey which will look at your mini map for you and beep whenever it finds one of those pesky orange dots which represent an ore, a herb or some other tracking node.
To use:
Move mouse to the top left of your mini map, and press Control-z to set the first set of coordinates at which it will scan from.
Move the mouse to the bottom right of the mini map and press Control-x to set the second set of coordinates.
Press Control-a to begin scanning.
I would like everyone to know that the idea of this came from the Macintosh program, NodeAnnounce (found here: http://www.savorydeviate.com/nodeannounce/).

Updated Version 2: Spotter.exe This one should let you know it has started scanning.
Updated Version: Spotter.exe This one has a very simple UI.

McAfee-GW-Edition picks it up as a heuristic, but I can guarantee that it IS safe. If someone might be able to confirm that would be great.

Happy tracking!
Edit:1:Added a simple UI with a start and stop button, will hopefully upload today or tomorrow.
Edit...apparently it will work in full screen mode.
