2. How to install them
3. Addons I should use
----------------------------------------------------
1. Addons are light-weight programs that attach to your WoW client and enhance your playing expiriance...Addons are used to make playing easier.
----------------------------------------------------
2.Addons commonly come in RAR & ZIP archives. To install them you should UnZip (Extract if RAR) them to C:/Program Files/World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons (Or where-ever your WoW is installed,just put it in the WoW directory Interface/Addons). Updating Addons is simple,you just download the new version of the addon,and overwrite the old one.
----------------------------------------------------
3.Well here comes the best part.Addons "I" (You) should use.
Map Addon
I suggest using Cartographer.Best Light-Weight Map there is. Removes the so-called "fog of war",and is easy to move around and use.Includes Battleground Maps,and lots of other various usefull stuff like Mining Spots,Herbalism spots,Instance Maps,Zone-Info,Look n Feel (Ability to change the size and transparency of the map at any time)and the ability to see guildmates on map.
