Sim Object Usage in Map

The map can show us the land usage graphically and the name textually for a sim -- it would be great if it had the prim usage listed on there too. It would let people make more intelligent land-buying decisions and keep from cluttering sims that are already close to being full of objects.

That info is on the mini-map. I look at it constantly as I fly around and explore the sims. On the bottom right corner of the mini map, there are two small bars. The one on the left is the sim object use and the one on the right is the land use. If you hold your mouse cursor on the bars, the percentage numbers will show up. Its not terribly user friendly, but it is there and not hard to access.

But I agree that it would be nice to see that information for all the sims at once on the large map.

yeah, and as the world gets larger we'll need more mgmt tools which provide an overview like this - for example, a list of all sims with the ability to sort by object density, available land, etc. Because the world will be too big to just browse the map :-)

Sorry if I wasn't clear -- Tiger and Heavy read it right that I wanted this in the big world map. Specifically so you don't have to fly to every sim in order to see which ones are empty...
