Waiomao Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Aloha all. I enjoy exploring SL by opening map (Control-M) and clicking on distant places to teleport to them. This is a great way to discover hidden gems, and to find regions that don't pay extra to be included in search results. Unfortunately map has had some problems recently, takes a long time to load even in my good computer, and at the best of times shows only a relatively small portion of the SL world. Does a clickable map exist somewhere on SL's website? Something like the map function in-world, but showing ALL regions? Because SL is building new regions all the time I wouldn't expect such a page to be up-to-date all the time. But it sure would be a fun tool for exploration, like spinning a globe and picking a spot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmoe Whitfield Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 This is what we have officially https://maps.secondlife.com/ but in world, I'm not sure of, I know when SL was small, we had maps we could put on prims, now that's a bit hard to do lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waiomao Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Thanks Bigmoe. That's a lot like an online version of the in-world map function, so suffers from the same thing as the in-world map: it takes forever to load (even with my high-speed internet), and when zoomed out everything disappears. I'd love to find something close to a static world map, with clickable hyperlinks to regions. That would likely be a HUGE file, so like RL world maps there might have to be separate maps for each continent and ocean. This might be a project I'll have to build myself and throw online for anyone who wants it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw this on the MP. It's definitely outdated but hey, it's worth a look since it's free! https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Marine-navigation-maps-1-HUD-and-desk-with-HUGE-mainland-databases-and-tools-for-sailing-and-flying-piloting/6382062 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
