  Thanks for the tip.  :)

  I'm re-designing GoGoMount and preparing for a major re-write of the code.  So far I think I've got an idea that'll work to get around this issue but if not, I'll try your idea below.

  I just need more time to work on it.  There's not enough hours in a day.

  You may wish to also handle ZONE_CHANGED and ZONE_CHANGED_INDOORS as well as ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA when listening for location update events.

  The safest way to handle setting the map (nicked from HereBeDragons) is something like this:

  local origID = GetCurrentMapAreaID()
  local WMU_FRAMES = { GetFramesRegisteredForEvent("WORLD_MAP_UPDATE") }
  for _,f in ipairs(WMU_FRAMES) do
      f:UnregisterEvent("WORLD_MAP_UPDATE")
  end
  SetMapToCurrentZone()
  
      -- do stuff
  
  SetMapByID(origID)
  for _,f in ipairs(WMU_FRAMES) do
      f:RegisterEvent("WORLD_MAP_UPDATE")
  end

  This is known and some what intentional.

  There was a bug a few years back with Blizzard's APIs affecting GoGoMount and other addons where in certain situations, changing zones didn't update the Blizzard API calls and would return wrong information.

  For example (at the time) you could fly from Dalaran to Borean Tundra.  After landing, you could ask the game client what zone you were in (API call) and it would respond with Dalaran.  GoGoMount would then try to pick mounts based on your favorites set for Dalaran while you were in Borean Tundra.

  The fix was to call SetMapToCurrentZone() which forced the in game map to change to the new zone's map and update the other API call returns to return the new map information.

  I'm not sure if this is still necessary or not since I didn't see the problem myself.  Others were reporting this and it was related to other UI mods they were running at the time.
