-==Patch 3.0.2==
+==Initialization==
-NOTE: This appears to have issues with the advent of Patch 3.0.2
+A one-time call to [[API SetMapToCurrentZone|SetMapToCurrentZone]]() is required before GetPlayerMapPosition() will return the correct values.
-It seems to be only working intermittently.
-Until you open the world map, this always seems to return (0,0). <br>
-After you open and close the world map, the coords return the correct values. <br>
-Start your code with the following two lines in your OnInitialize Section: <br>
-WorldMapFrame:Show() <br>
-WorldMapFrame:Hide() <br>

In 3.1.1 (possibly earlier) coordinates are being returned in instances.)
