GetPlayerMapPosition -Documentation by Meog-

Returns the postion of a unit on the current map

posX, posY = GetPlayerMapPosition("unit");

("unit")

unit: String - The UnitId for which the position is returned. (Verified for player, party*, target and mouseover (Though the latter two only work for friendly players and non hostile players of the other faction). Does not appear to work for pet (Tested with warlock)).

posX, posY

posX: Number - X value of the unit position (a proprotion between 0 and 1, relative to WorldMapDetailFrame)
posY: Number - Y value of the unit position (a proportion between 0 and 1, relative to WorldMapDetailFrame)

If both posX and posY are 0, then the position is unknown, unknowable, or not valid for the current map.

local posX, posY = GetPlayerMapPosition("player");
