World map on SL went from usefull to find new sims and explore to utter useless and huge ,open it and it just blows out of proportions 2gig+ ram use if you keep it up awhile and what can you see?, nothing just dots all over the place, oh wait you dont see anything till you actually zoom way way way way in, then wherever you look actually rez.

Second , why do i have to put PG events on before i can have mature?, forcing a option i dont want to have.

Lindens ,this map is useless, was always fun to explore and look at new sims popping up all over, now i cant even open the map without having pc having a heartattack, try to find a new sim?, zoom way way way way way in before the landmass actually appear, bah -.-

How about the fact that if I open a landmark in the map and "show destination" the LAST sim map square to load is the one with the landmark?
Unfailing, everytime I wish to see a destination, EVERY SINGLE sim AROUND the sim I wish to see rezzes to detail before the one I want to see does.

What really surprised me was that it's supposed to update. I've been here a couple of months now and I can't remember it ever changing, but a few of weeks back someone told me it used to update daily!

What's going on? I mean, if it's broken, why doesn't someone fix it?

That's odd, it's the same for me, and I thought it was just me being unlucky or something.

I agree that the current map is an unusable mess. Partially due to rez times, but even more due to the fact that SL has just gotten too big.

One thing I'd love to see implemented for islands, is for island owners to be given a sentence or three of space to describe their island that would pop up by clicking on it. IMO this would be *extremely* useful.

I remember when i lived on the mainland a year ago i used to do regular searches for new sims. I was happy to see the mainland expanding. Now i never bother to look since it takes 10 minutes to make a sim image rez on the map and the world became so huge since then that i don't even know where to look anymore.

The map is not useless. But there are two problems. The rez time is quite bothersome, and the lack of updates is a little bothersome.

I agree with the general thrust of the negative comments on the current map.

I think it's worse in the 1.11 version, it adds an automatic scroll when you do a search.

Put Sandbox in the region search field and click the Search button. It automatically scrolls to the first item shown in the search results. If the first item isn't the one you wanted you have been scrolled from where you had the map postioned to start with to a place you don't want to see.

These are easy to fix if it's not working out well.
