World map and mini-map beam

[tryad]

Greetings:

I would like to know if there is anyway to turm off the scan beam on the world map/ mini-map. I want it gone if possible. If you change the settings in the preference it changes the screen.  I do not wnat to use the settings on the left click because it changes the screen. I want to shut it down if possible.

As we explained the last time you asked this same question, there is no "scanning beam" in the map or MiniMap.  The green avatar dots on the minimap are located there by accessing what the server knows about the position of every single thing on the sim.  The server doesn't have to "scan" for the avatars.  It already knows where they are. 

The appearance of the map and minimap are built into Linden Lab's viewer code, which is then picked up and used in each of the TPV's.  We users have no control over any of that.  If you wanted to go to the trouble of creating your own viewer, you could probably tweak it there.

I think the sarcasm was not necessary. A simple yes or no would have sufficed. I will send this on to who ever is your supervisor. the fact that I sent it before was an honest mistake.

No sarcasm intended. I was simply reminding you that we already answered your question last week and providing a link in case you had misplaced it. And I don't have a supervisor. This is a resident-to-resident Answer service. I'm just another SL resident, like you, Tryad. ;-)
