Endrid:When I'm running around and I'm looking at the larger map and get attacked and try and drop the map back down to the minimap it stays in the middle of screen where the larger map is and if I click the map to bring up the larger map again it's right there as well in the middle. And then I can't really move the map around till after I leave combat is there anyway to stop this from happening?
That should not happen. I just walked into 2 mobs with the Carb map maximized and I could press M or Esc to make it normal sized again. I could hit M multiple times to make it large and small. Being in combat should not make a difference. I also dragged it around and sized it. Checked the "Hide In Combat" in the window title menu. All working fine. You could try disabling all other addons to see if there is some addon conflict.
Endrid:Is there anyway I can get nodes to show up on the carbo minimap without using the default minimap? I basically have to have the default minimap docked and the transparency all the way down to see the carbo minimap and the node at the same time. Which I don't mind doing except I then have two cursors showing on the minimap that's invis and the carbo minimap.
Tracking locations are drawn internally by the game into the minimap frame. There is no way for an addon to get the locations to draw them itself.
Right click a non icon area of map and select "Transparency...". There is a "Gather Icon Transparency" slider that defaults to 60%. You can decrease that to see more easily through the Carb gather icons to the minimap tracking dots underneath. You can also hold the control key to make the non docked minimap draw above the Carb map icons.
Don't know what you mean by 2 cursors. You should just see your location arrow at the center of the blizzard minimap frame it the frame is not docked in a corner.
