TomTom for WoW Forever
TomTom turns a pair of coordinates into an arrow pointing where you need to go. Every guide that says '42, 68' assumes you have it.

Download TomTom
Classic Era files on the official CurseForge project, linked from Questie's README. Addons are free: Blizzard's UI Add-On Development Policy requires it. If a site asks you to pay, or hands you an .exe instead of a folder, close the page.
What TomTom does
- Adds a waypoint arrow that points at a set of coordinates, with the distance counting down.
- Shows your own coordinates on the minimap or world map, which is how you tell someone where you are.
- Keeps a list of waypoints, so a route from a levelling guide can be loaded in one go.
How to install it
- Download the addon from one of the official pages above.
- Close the game, including the Battle.net launcher. Addons are read at startup.
- Unzip the download. Inside you get the folder
TomTom. - Move it into your WoW Forever install under
Interface/AddOns. Do not nest a folder inside a folder of the same name — that is the most common reason an addon does not show up. - Start the game. On the character select screen, open AddOns and make sure it is ticked.
If it still does not appear, tick "Load out of date AddOns" in that list: a Classic build can be marked for an older interface version than the Forever client reports.
Set it up before you level
- Type /way 42 68 to test it. If the arrow appears, you are set.
- Turn on the coordinate block on the world map: it is off by default in some versions.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| /way 42 68 | Sets a waypoint in the current zone. |
| /way Durotar 52 43 | Sets a waypoint in a named zone. |
| /way reset all | Clears every waypoint. |
TomTom in WoW Forever
Status: Useful in the new and reworked zones, where written guides give coordinates before the map data catches up.
- Coordinates are a property of the map, not the quest database, so TomTom keeps working in unchanged zones.
- Forever's new zones need map data in the addon before waypoints there behave correctly.
Hitting crashes or a frozen client in the beta instead? That is a graphics setting, not an addon: see the beta crash fixes.

TomTom FAQ
Do I need TomTom if I have Questie?
Questie covers quest objectives. TomTom is for everything else: a herb route, a rare spawn, a spot someone linked in chat.
