[robin Caliera]

Hi, each friend must give permission to see them on the map, it is not enabled by default because many people think it is spooky.

The friends drop-down list in Map ONLY shows your online friends who have allowed you to find them on  the map. You will only see thar friends, not the others. You don't need do anything for prodice that list because that list is produced forum the choice made by your friends.

Tracking Your Friends

You can use the World Map to track your friends' whereabouts in the  Second Life virtual world. To track a friend, type their name into the My  Friends dropdown menu. If your friend is online and has allowed you  to see their location, they will appear on your map as a red  destination marker.

Note: Your friend must grant you the ability to see  their inworld location before you can track them using the World Map. To  let someone see you on the Map, highlight their name in the Friends  list and check the Can see me on the map checkbox.
