I would like to see some sort of land mapping features; i.e. a sq m grid that could b viewed from any height, or a more intense zoom for the map. Additionally, it would be nice if you could take a snapshot of the map.
The other side of the coin is it would also be nice to have a surveying group to map SL.

I want to do a geographical mapping of SL, however the best you can get right now is Land For Sale which puts those white blotches.
So I agree with this, also a Show Property Lines on the big map would be usefull for the auctions.

The best I have been able to do is map land ownership in a sim, but not by parcel. And I know that Ezhar Fairlight was able to map terrain on a 0.5m resolution I believe (maybe only 1m) and that came out real well. What I'm looking for now is some way to indicate parcels, like a llGetLandParcelIDAt(vector) or something. As the terrain changes rapidly, surveying is a bit hard. But I'm interested in SL cartography too  |

Once I finish my current projects, I'm going to be working on volumetric mapping of sims in SL up to an altitude of 864m. This is basically a project to find high-altitude builds (and probably some missing vehicles ).

Xylor Baysklef has made 3d terrain maps of sims, you may want to look him up for tips and pointers. i'm sure some people would be disappointed to see their high-altitude builds revealed. Oh well  Why 864m? I thought that 768 was the limit? |

768 is the highest you can move an object to directly. I can get another 96 meters from the distance llSensor can reach, which isn't much, considering that objects can be rezzed clear up to 4096 meters.
