"VIRTUAL KNOWLEDGE, REAL RESULTS."
-----
World Map How do you find your way around? Click the Map button on your toolbar. There are two tabs, Objects and Terrain. Objects show all the resident-created objects and Terrain shows the naked terrain. Each square tile with a name is a region (65,536 square meters of virtual land!) It does take a while to load the map. Objects tab shows things below 400m, so skyboxes and very high builds don't show up. You can Click-drag, or use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom. The Map legend is in the upper-right. Click it to see what direction you are oriented and the cone of vision. You can click home to teleport home. You can toggle to hide and show various things. The green dots are people. If you hover your cursor over a region, it shows the number of people in that place. Showing "Telehubs" (estate entry points) makes the screen very cluttered, and is virtually useless. You can check "Land for Sale" to show that on the map as well. "Friends" shows online friends who have given you permission to track them. You can also personalize a list of landmarks to track. You can click "Teleport", or you can Double-click on the map to travel.
