World of WarCraft fan? Explore the terrain Google Maps style

Posted on April 15, 2007 at 7:52 pm

The Google Code project has just delivered a nifty little utility for those World of WarCraft lovers out there. It’s called MapWow and it takes the Google Maps API and uses it so that you can explore the terrain of the World of WarCraft “world” using the same tools as Google Maps!

You can zoom in and zoom out with the controls at the top left and you can move around by dragging the map. Thes best part, however, is that you can select options from the right side to show resources or labels that you want to see. For example, are you looking for Gold Vein or Copper Vein? Check the box and you got it right on the map! Or maybe you want to find all the treasure like Alliance Chest, Document Chest, or a Barrel of Milk?
