How to make your own mining/herbalism route

[ChrisC]

What do you need ?
1. Cartographer
2. Cartographer_Mining / Cartographer_Herbalism / Cartographer_Fishing / Cartographer_ExtractGas depending on what you want to gather.
3. Cartographer_Routes
4. Anything else you need on wowace.com

Setup
It's fairly easy to get it working if you don't really want to tweak it.
1. Extract everything in your /Interface/Addons folder as usual
2. Launch the game, open your map, and go in the Cartographer menu
3. Pick the route submenu and select add. Chose all the nodes you want to "track" on your map and minimap, and create the route. (Screenshot #1)
4. Voila ! You've got an impressive path between each node ! Impressive isn't it ? Yeah, not really because it's not readable in its current state. (Screenshot #2)
5. Hopefully, you can optimize everything, select the route you just created in the submenu and take a look at the "Optimize route" part. Depending on how you want to spend your resources (read the tooltips in game) you can select Background/Foreground optimization, and even add a few extra optimizations. (Screenshot #3.jpg)
6. Get yourself a coffee while it's working.
7. Enjoy your easy gathering ! (Screenshot #4)

Feel free to ask questions if anything doesn't work.

are these DBs or do you have to have mapped all the nodes before hand

I downloaded cartographer_data from wowace site since your link wasnt working but when i add that mod into my interface and launch wow when i go to add routes it says "no data available". Do i have to import the data dbs somehow? I dont see any options for this.
