Tracking your friends

You can track your friends' location inworld if they have chosen to allow it.  Click the My Friends Online dropdown and choose the friend you want to find. The avatar's location appears on your map as a red destination marker.

To allow a friend to see your location on the map:

• Open your friend's profile
• Click on the gear icon.
• Click Permissions.
• Select the See me on the map checkbox.

Tip: It is possible to teleport directly to your friend's location by pressing the Teleport button. However, it is good etiquette to respect your friends' privacy by IMing first.  Teleporting to another Resident's location unannounced is considered very impolite!
