Well Gatherer used to use a DB that showed where all the herbs/mines spawn and you would go to the spot and see if its there. But the more I see the VideoFX stuff, the more I like it.
I am going to go through the videos on Youtube about it now... :)

They've even changed the minimap so that addons cannot change the appearance of nodes on the minimap. Farewell magenta stars, I shall miss thee.
you can certainly run a gathermate type map on a non gathering toon, but that just gets you in the area, you won't be able to see if nodes are actually there without the video fx. Personally I just overlay the minimap of the gatherer over the leaders, as long as they are close together there are no navigation issues if you do that and you save real estate on adding a second one.
