For
some reason, Blizzard decided to include beautiful maps for every area
of Azeroth except instances. You can still see the area surrounding you
in the minimap when you're in an instance, but never the overall layout
of the entire dungeon. This is where Atlas comes in. The core of Atlas
is basically an image viewer. However, it's the images that come with
Atlas that make it worthwhile: a map for every instance in the game.
Furthermore, the maps are marked with the locations of bosses and other
points of interest. Atlas also includes maps of battlegrounds, dungeon
locations, flight points, and outdoor raid bosses.
After
installing Atlas, you'll notice a new icon on the minimap that looks
like part of a little globe (you can right-click the icon to drag it
around the minimap's frame). Click this icon to open up the main Atlas
window, which displays the maps and legend. You can alternatively use
the slash-command /atlas. The drop-downs at the top of the window
enable you to navigate between the maps. You can also drag the Atlas
window around the screen. Lock it in place with the little lock button
in the upper-right corner.
At the bottom of the legend is a
small text-entry field as well as Search and Reset buttons. Type part
of a word or name in the box and click the Search button, and the
legend's entries are reduced to only those that match your text. Note
that the search is performed only on the entries for the current map,
not all the entries in the database. While not so useful for instances
with only a few entries like Ragefire Chasm, the search comes in handy
when there are a ton of entries, like for Blackrock Depths or the
AtlasMajorCities plug-in. If you want to get the whole list back, just
click Reset.
