question about people locating me on a map

[dogmouse]

Hi ya'll,

In my contact list, I noticed that a friend of mine can locate me on a map. That is, the little check mark is there in the box that allows him to do so.  What's weird, is that I never selected that option! And when i try to deselect the checkmark, it is grayed out, so I cant make any changes!

Does anyone else have this problem?

How do I remove that checkmark, so he CANT see where I am on a map?

Thanks for any advice,

Mouse

Some viewers that use old style profiles can have trouble with these flags. If you are trying to work on the setting that way, try instead to do it from the gear menu at the top of their my.secondlife.com profile.

Are you sure that he has access to your location and it's not the other way around?

No problem switching that on/off in Firestorm & Singularity,
( Give it a few seconds to update the display)
the official viewer wants you to do it via that users profile.
( Gear menu -> Permissions.)

Thank you all for your replies.  Where is this "gear" menu that you are talking about?  Im using Firestorm, and Im looking all over in the menus....I dont see anything labeled "gear"?

Anyone?

In Firestorm, there are two sections that shows those permissions.  The ones that are grayed out are what HE has set for YOU.  In other words, he has given YOU permission to find HIM on the map.  The permissions you've given HIM are NOT grayed out and are to the left of the ones grayed out.  

I bet if you look, you're seeing the permissions he's given YOU.  Try this:  Open his profile and click "Find On Map."  I bet it will work!

The gear icon next to their name on your peoples page.

People > Gear (Icon) > Permissions
