Currently, the only thing I want to do is when a Pin becomes visible on the Compass I want to grab what the pin is (pinType perhaps?) and write it (the name) to the chat panel. I thought this would be extremely simple being it would fire once (event?) but now several days in I'm just spinning in circles trying to put the puzzle together. Is there any documentation on COMPASS.container or ZO_WorldMap_IsPinGroupShown? Or better yet is there an event fired when a pin shows on the compass?

There is no such event...

I was playing around with compass in my test addon Compass Distance (http://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9208).

I don't know if it is the best way, but have hooked OnUpdate function:

ZO_PreHookHandler(COMPASS.container, "OnUpdate", 
   function()
      --do stuff
   end)

And from there I'm calling:

for i = 1, COMPASS.container:GetNumCenterOveredPins() do
   local description, pinType, distance, drawLayer, drawLevel, isSupressed = COMPASS.container:GetCenterOveredPinInfo(i)
      if not isSupressed then
         --do stuff
      end
   end
end
