Prolific World of Warcraft add-on maker cknight has released the latest version of his Cartographer mod, transforming WoW’s static in-game world map into a Google Maps-inspired dynamic map.

Even though the add-on is only in beta, it’s already an extremely impressive achievement, and I look forward to experimenting with it when I reactivate my WoW account in the coming weeks (Really! …Probably).

Of course, as any Lord of the Rings Online player knows, Azeroth isn’t the first virtual fantasy world to get the Google Maps treatment. Arda Online’s map of Middle-Earth has been helping LotRO players find there way from the Shire to the Trollshaws for months now.
