I would like to see the property lines on the map. We can already plainly see plots that are for sale or slated for auction. It would be useful, as well as interesting, to see property lines on the map. We already have the map overlay for Terrain, New Objects, Objects For Sale, and Land For Sale. Im just suggesting the addition of Property Lines.

I endorse this proposal. I also would like to see all the same colors when I show Land Owners in av view. So looking at the map I'd see purple for auctions, green for my land, cyan for group land, etc. It's stupid, but I spent some time searching a sim for some land my group owned and it was so obscured I almost didn't find it! Having that info in map view would be great.

/stamp both of these ideas with one addition

can we have a tab that shows just terrain with no builds, avs, or anything but the topographical terrain?

I like this idea. Endorsed.

Edit: Missed Olmy and Khamon's suggestions, stamp both of those for endorsement as well.

I like both feature ideas. The topographic map could be another tab. Ideally property lines would be displayed on any tab, matching your current in-world property-line view state, but I don't think that'd be practical as each map square is a single image.

Does anyone know how often the map images are regenerated?

Every idea mentioned in this thread deserves being cued up for inclusion. Really. I mean that.

Olmy,

<< I also would like to see all the same colors when I show Land Owners in av view. So looking at the map I'd see purple for auctions, green for my land, cyan for group land, etc.>>

But surely, this would mean that adjacent plots might not be distinguished as they are now. If, for example, you had two adjacent plots of group land next door, it would appear as one large plot.

I said "also". Property lines, plus distinguishing different status of land. That's how it works in av view. You can show property lines, land owners, or both. Check boxes to the right of the maps (similar to the ones for Top Picks, Events, etc.) would take care of that handily.
