It's not providing any advantage undue to anyone else unless you consider using the wiki w/ it's maps and loc-grids as also unfair. This is literally just taking that map, and putting you on it instead of you looking at the numbers to figure it out.

It's providing a huge advantage. You are artificially circumventing the need to learn how to navigate zones, learn how to use /loc with map.
It takes a GREAT amount of time to learn every zone.
It's also EASY to get lost in the chaos of PvP; especially if you don't know the zone.
In the heat of PvP, there is NO WAY you can /loc and navigate your way on a map.
HOWEVER, with a 3rd party cheat, you can just have a live updated map of the zone and your location, and NEVER get lost.
Just Yondered half a zone away? NO WORRIES just glance over at your other monitor for your EXACT location.....
This doesn't sound like an unfair advantage to you?

Also, how would you enforce people using it / not using it? There is no way to tell.

I beg to differ. Already in this thread alone, Agatha has called out Jupe for developing this program. People talk, and let things slip. _All the time_.

3rd party programs typically interact with the program they are hacking either by injection or by man-in-the-middle. This does neither.

It's not your typical cheat? So? That fact doesn't change that it circumvents a feature which was purposefully removed from the client. I've already detailed many ways to use logging parser plug-ins to re-create MQ2 functionality... are those not cheats, simply because they don't use the most common methods of doing so?

What you're suggesting is the equivalent of everyone refusing to use the wiki

This is a large leap; I did not infer any such similarity.
On Wiki, YOU have to figure out your location, figure out your direction, and plot your course. With a 3rd party mapping program, you don't have to do any such thing.
Further, if you get attacked and run off to get lost in Emerald Jungle with me hot on your tail, I WELCOME you to alt tab to Wiki with your /loc and plot your escape.
