    This website has locations of nodes on it, and if you click the nodes it will show the coordinates:

    http://mapwow.com/

    Before I got Gatherer I went through a couple of zones and manually clicked and added some nodes to my world maps using CT_MapMod. However, I would like to enter those into the Gatherer database, and I would like to do that in a much larger scale than I had before. Needless to say, the thought of sitting there and manually adding each node (again!) in game is daunting.

    Instead, I would like to open whatever file Gatherer uses stores this information, and manually type in the coordinates for the different nodes, which should be faster than tabbing over, searching for the coordinate on the map, clicking it, entering all the info, tabbing over again to get the next node, etc. I have some programming experience -- just none with LUA yet -- so I'm pretty confident I could figure out enough to enter that information, the problem is I just don't know what file that data is stored to. :-) Little help? :D

    Now I have another question... I successfully entered coordinates for many zones using the ones given on mapwow.com, which are identical (or at least extremely close) to the ones CTMod and Gatherer appear to use. The Gatherer notes show up exactly where they should and it worked great for Ashenvale, Azshara, Desolace, Felwood, and Feralas so far.

    However, everything I entered for Tanaris is completely wonky! I double-checked the points I typed in against mapwow.com and CTMod and they're correct, but they don't show up that way at all for Gatherer. Does Gatherer use a different coordinate system for Tanaris...? O_o
