How Do I turn off Landing Point Red Arrow Indicator?

[Farthington Whetmore]

For some unknown reason I now see the Red Arrow and Coorinates indicating where the Teleport /Landing point is and I can't seem to find the option to that off.  Please adivise how I do that.  Thanks :)

If you click the little red arrow it goes away. Not sure you can turn it off permanently, but there probably is a way.

Another way is to go into the map and clear it if you were using that to tp somewhere. Or just walk/fly to the exact position the arrow is at, including height. that usually gets rid of it. Never tried clicking it, hadn't crossed my mind to do that.

Clicking it is a well hidden feature, it seems. I don't remember how I discovered it, but I think I read it somewhere. I might just have tried to click it; I click on everything...

Luc is OK. Click the red arrow is a veteran advice in the KB, actually in http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Navigating-the-world/ta-p/700123#What_happens_after_teleporting_to_a_Landmark.3F

Hehe... Don't blink or you'll miss it.

I thought it had to be written somewhere.

Thanks Irene!

It's never been obvious over the years that "you can click the red arrow to make it disappear". Visual feedback — like a "X" appearing when you hover over it and a notification stating "this points to your destination, click to hide it", like we already use for hints — would make sense.

I feel there should be a debug setting for this (in Advanced menu > Debug Settings) but I haven't found one.

[Luc Starsider]

Somehow I feel as if the red arrow is such a different type of interface element than the rest of the viewer interface, that the bubble notification would seem a bit wrong... But, yes, some clue that it can be clicked would be good, and since I don't have a better idea I agree.

Wow, in my opinion that's really a great idea!

Perhaps you must creat a JIRA request for that bnew feature (I'm not kidding")

PS. I discover the "click the tred arrow for delete it" my fist day in SL... because I thought that clicking the arrow I would go to the destination LOL

LOL Irene I did the same thing

I would prefer that there was a debug to stop the beacon from disappearing when you avatar reaches it. I know its supposed to show you where to go, so logically when you are there you don`t need it, but sometimes when you are using it to find objects and you are at the wrong height and following the distance display on it, it is really annoying that it disappears if you accidentally fly into it. I prefer to click it to kill it when I`m done with it.

Wow.  It never occurred to me to click it, and I've been here for 4 years.  Learn something new every day.

I'm with PeeWee, BTW.  I like options, and the option to not kill the beacon could be handy at times.  I also don't care for having yet another bit of floating text on the screen, if you can help it.  Maybe a ToolTip, but not a permanent hover text.

You can right click the Mini-map and pick stop tracking too:smileywink:
