I've experienced a couple of problems while seeking someone out with their calling card.
ON THE MAP:
Usually, I try to find someone on the map using their calling card. Sometimes, it glitches and sends the "circle" way out of view... and the arrow pointing endlessly into the horizon, no matter how far I pan the map view or zoom out. I can't teleport to their location either.
WHILE ON THE GROUND:
Ok, suppose the map thing works and I teleport to the person - of course I land like 700 m away using the "nearest" telehub. So I start flying towards the direction of the arrow and the standing red phantom bar. I fly and fly and lag and fly... all of a sudden, the red bar zips somewhere else on the world! So I turn towards it (maybe the person teleported) and I wind up at the edge of a dead end sim, and my friend is "supposedly" in the bottom of the sea! But I IM my buddy and they tell me they are not, and that they don't see me, as if I'd be seeing a "ghost"??
This is all wierd. Anyone had this happen to them?

1) when its in the middle of nowhere (actually 0,0 globalcoords, would take a while to scroll there, but i think its possible), you should wait a bit, then it might appear
2) it is buggy, and they can TP to mess it up
I really think this feature should be removed. It leads to spying. There is a topic on this already

But we joke around sometimes and she really doesn't mind that. I think that if you have someone on your CC list you really wouldn't mind that person showing up.. but then again, that is a privacy issue that would need the OK from the community. Thanks for your reply, EVIL !!!
