Use Votan's Minimap instead:

Small minimap addon that shouldn't impact the FPS too much.
Especially handy for those who use HarvestMap and get FPS drops together with ZrMM.

While in mouse mode (toggled with the . key), the position of the minimap can be changed by dragging the minimap title and zooming is done with the mouse wheel.
While your character isn't moving, you can even pan the map and look at other zones (the typical left/right click navigation from the default map works).

The size of the minimap can be changed via the chatcommand
Code:
/lwmsize [size]

The default minimap zoomout level can be set with:
Code:
/lwmzoom [zoomout level]
This is a number between 0 and 8, 8 being zoomed out the most.


The default map zoomout level can be set with:
Code:
/lwmdefaultzoom [zoomout level]
This is a number between 0 and 8, 8 being zoomed out the most.
0.7
* changed folder structure of the zip for minion compability

0.7

* Fixes command to set zoomout level. "/lwmzoom 0-8"

0.6

* No longer errors when attempting to drag skills.
* Map should always be restored to correct location.
* Fast travel for free from way-shrines correctly.
* Set default map and minimap zoomout levels.
* Resize minimap after ALT-TAB.

Is it possible you have another addon that also changes your map that could be interfering? I nor my tester have seen this behavior, but we run a similar addon setup.

Thanks!
The only addons I run that appear to do anything with the map aside from this addon are harvest map, skyshards and lorebooks. When I revert back to using 0.5 edition of the lightweight minimap all the problems I describe from 0.7 go away. When I turn off 0.7 and just run my other addons the issue does not appear as well. For now I'm having to run 0.5 edition of this addon as I never experienced any of the above prior to the 0.7 update... but yes, I guess there may be some conflict somewhere, oh well...
If you can tell me what addon is the conflict I will definitely take a look.

To aid in your search: Hiding of the minimap is handled when the "hud" or "hudUI" scene is hidden. I make sure you aren't trying to Fast Travel, then the map is hidden.

Thanks for this add-on. I'll try it out, but not sure I'll stick with it if it stands out like a sore thumb. Also, I don't mean that in a rude way - not even a little bit.
I do not intend to add any themeing options at this time. The minimap is the ZOS default map shrunk down so you can see it all the time.

Yay, updates! This addon gets more shiny and more sparkles with every release :3

There are still some more ideas on my part:
  • Can you add an option to show the zone title again?
  • I'm excited for the new icon scale feature!

What do you think about combining your slash commands? That way, users only have to remember /lwm (maybe even alias it to /minimap as well) and the usage would be more intuitive (in my view at least ), e.g. "/lwm zoom [1-8]", "/lwm wmzoom [1-8]" or "/lwm size [200-800]".

There's a minor bug when changing the map zoom from minimap to world map and back: If you're using a big zoom modifier on the world map (I'm at 8) the map zooms out and pans to fit the whole map into the frame on smaller maps (e.g. small towns). When you then change to minimap again (and it zooms in) the center point is no longer where you are. This gets corrected when moving, of course.

That's the way I did it and works brilliantly so far.

This is a good idea. Some maps like Craglorn don't zoom in much and the icons are overwhelming. I will research adding this.

You can set a zoom out level now with a slash command for the default map and the minimap. Sometimes after zoning, you may need to tap 'm' to refresh the zoom, but I am looking for the right event to catch so I fix this.

The only lag issues I have noticed are my group members positions at times, but that is the ZOS map's problem.

I would really like to see this show up on Minion. It's just too convenient not to use it for all my addons.
