Hey guys I found an addon that works like Gatherer but it helps us engineers track gas clouds as well.  It can be found here

You can also share with the guild like Gatherer does with this mod:

I am gonna switch over to this.  Unfortunately it won't work along with Gatherer but maybe if all of us engineers switch over we will be able to get a pretty good route going for farming motes/shards or whatever WOTLK motes are called...

This is also a useful addon

It hooks up all of your nodes into a route so that you farm just by looking at your minimap...  Gathermate supports this addon as well. 

Just wanted to post my findings.  Hope this helps someone, and who knows maybe the guild will switch over if they like it?  I've found it frustrating that I can't track motes and I am sure more of you have as well.

Well I think this would be great, but I wouldn't be looking forward to losing my current node database - at least I know where most of that is though (herbs, not mineral veins however), and Gatherer seems to keep on 'losing' my database anyway so I'd welcome a change of pace.

Would be nice if everyone switched over - I guess I'll go when the masses go!
