If you want, you can create a macro to give your current position.

For example:

/script posX=0; posY=0
/script posX,posY=GetPlayerMapPosition("player")
/script posX=floor(posX*10000) / 100
/script posY=floor(posY*10000) / 100
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(format("[ %s ] %.2f , %.2f",GetZoneText(),posX,posY));

If I've typed it correctly, this one will give your current zone and coordinates (I decided to round it to 2 decimal places, but change the last like to whatever you feel like).

Sometimes it behaves funny and gives me 0.00, 0.00 (usually if I just toggle my map on and off, it behaves properly again).

I'm sure there are better and more concise macros out there, but this should do for now.  :)

i agree with the other guy, you should really get coords before you look up much stuff on thottbot. they're not too hard to get, and they're free. go to www.wowmatrix.com, download their add-on manager, and put it in your world of warcraft interface->addons folder. open wowmatrix and download the cartographer addon. all of wat i just said is free adn takes about 3 minutes to download. imho no excuse for not have coords and making people do dumb explanations of how to get there.
