Need a gathering add-on

Hey everyone,
I need a good add on for tracking herbs and ore. I have tried Meta-Map and didnt like it at all. I originally tried Cartographer but realized i didnt set it up right so I might try it again. Currently using Gatherer, but it displays way too much for me, even with HUD off.
Ideally, I want an add on tracker that will create a node to be tracked from that node being tracked by the Blizz UI tracker and not by me actually mining it. Ie-i find a spot with tons of iron but I can't mine iron yet. The wowhead database for gatherer is great, but a ton of the locations are incorrect for my character, which is just a pain. I would like a simple and cleanly displayed way to know if something was from a database or my personal collection.
Seems like maybe I can play with gatherer some to get it to work, try the Wow Looter or Cartographer.
Any suggestions?

Hmm, so you want it to filter to only stuff you are able to gather based on your gathering skill? I think that data is in the Gatherer data ... maybe a slight code modification could make it do what you want...

Exactly, but even moreso than that I would like it to track thinngs I am able to mine/gather without me actually touching it, just it showing up on tracker. Ie-when flying or just in a hurry and bypass them. In addition, would be nice if i could apply that type of tracking to "also track +x amount above mining/herb skill". Ie- i am 40 pts away from being able to mine "insert ore", so i would like to be able to make the add on track anything up to 40 pts above my mining (or w/e other number you set).
I know Gatherer has a list of the ores and you can track them individually, but a clear all, check all or even better a check only minable/gatherable items would be great. Just that option would clear things up so much, but I still think this no-contact tracking would be a huge help.

Well, as, like I said, I think that the data Gatherer has includes skill requirement (I remember seeing something like Iron (120) or whatever on the tooltip), you might consider just making this request on the comments for the main Gatherer addon posting wherever that is.

gathermate
should do what you're looking for... Without installing gathermate_data it won't populate any of the databases, giving you a clean slate. It should also record nodes if you click them (even if you can't mine them yet), or at least I think it does, it's been so long since I've actually tried it >_<

Wow. I've been reading this whole thread as "Gatherer" == "Gathermate" Jesus. Gathermate might do that filter thing ... why do I vaguely remember seeing filter settings on what it shows? I'd have to look when I get home.
