About Homing Digeon
I got really tired of having to flip back and forth between the World Map and the Flight Map to find the closest flightpoint for all the archaeology digs, so this addon merely overlays the digs onto the flight map directly, so it's easier to pick destinations to idlefly to.
Thanks to karl_w_w on #wowuidev IRC for the name

Turns out that each flightmap/continentmap have differing ratios between them. So magic multiplicands ahoy

The shovel icons are difficult to see sometimes, and are sometimes inaccurate compared the the flight points (or perhaps Blizzard places the flight points themselves inaccurately at times).
Instead of a shovel icon on the map, why not color the closest flightpoint a different color than the rest? For example, a light green or light blue? Additionally, add a popup text string that appears when mouseing over the colored flight point that says the type of artifact(s) that can be found there?
This way you avoid the issue of flightpoints covering up shovel icons, as well as innaccurate placement of shovels/flightpoints, and you can quickly see immediately where you need to go.
All the best,
