Mining Buddy/engineering Buddy?

I'd very much like to know if there is an addon for mining that shows minerals and zones, like the fish/zones list that comes with Fishing Buddy.
i.e. I want to create a Turbo-Charged Flying Machine, but I forgot where certain ores or other reagents are located. It would make WOW-life so much easier if I could automatically have a list of places where I can find my ores and/or other reagents.
Although I LOVE wowhead and look up all my info here, having to switch from game to site and vice versa whenever I want to make something is very frustrating, especially because my connection usually forces me to exit game completely before searching Wowhead, or wait 5-10 mins before site is accessable. Darn ISP!
So, are there helpful addons for this? I've been looking on curse but I get kind of overwhelmed by the amount of addons, and not knowing if they have what I want.
Btw I'm not using anything like Titan or Atlas because previously they froze the game (I guess ISP again)
Hope you guys & gals can help me out.
Have a nice day :)

I use gatherer and it works well. Download it and find a someone that can export their data via in game thru the addon. Bam, instant data!

I thought Gatherer only shows info about the zone that I am currently in, is that correct?
Like, I'm in Dalaran now and want to make that flying machine. My recipe shows me I need fel iron ore and adamantite ore, as far as I remember they both are found in Outland, b ut I'm not sure. What I'm looking for is addon that tells me like fel iron ore is ...there, and adamantite ore is... there so that I don't have to first travel some place and maybe finding out I'm wrong.

I use a combination of
gatherer
and
routes
like so:
Gatherer installed with the
Wowhead db
installed and imported.
I have taken the time in Routes to create all the routes that I think I need. This can be done in any zone for any other zone. I do create multiple routes withing each zone for the different materials i.e. herbs, mining nodes, specific herbs and specific mining nodes like the fel iron you mentioned.
Once I have a specific need I have a general idea of the area that I need to go, in your example Outlands, I then in Routes go through the list and find if I have a previously define route for the material, again using your example of Fel Iron and select it.
I then get to the zones and using Routes with its TomTom integration I just follow the arrow till I see the node and fly down and harvest/mine, rinse and repeat.
You can choose several input sources as noted in routes :
GatherMate (Author's preference)
Cartographer_Fishing
Cartographer_Mining
Cartographer_Herbalism
Cartographer_ExtractGas
Cartographer_Treasure
Gatherer
