Map access for friends

[GinPhx]

My friend gave me map access how can I view him on map when I'm not signed on in SL? I log into my.secondlife.com click on his name then map but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Thank you

If your friend is online, his name appears in green on your dashboard's friends list. Clicking on his name will launch the viewer and you will be able to join him in SL. If his name is grayed out, that means he is offline and clicking on his name will make nothing happen at all. 

If you are having issues with that (i.e., his name is green but nothing happens) try with another browser such as Firefox or Chrome. 

ETA: This feature does not exist on "mysecondlife.com", it only works on your dashboard, i.e.:  https://secondlife.com/my/index.php?lang=en-US

If you're not logged in with the viewer, you can see what region he's in (and ground coordinates) but you can't see him on a map.

It may depend on what browser you're using, but in Firefox the location is displayed in a popup on the lower left when you mouse over a name in your friends list on the Dashboard:
