For the first time ever (I think) first one, then three and now two purple squares have appeared on my minimap, They are stationary on my property but there is nothing where they are on the ground and nothing up to 1000m high. I've looked everywhere for a legend to minimap colours to find out what these represent but to no avail. The squares are slighly smaller than the dots which represent residents.

Any ideas/knowledge anyone?

Notice where I have drawn the green arrow. Is that what you are talking about? Are you sure they appear on your land? Maybe nearby places are just going up for auction?

Fuscia dots represent group-owned objects. You must be in the group that owns the objects to see them. Fuscia might appear as purple on your screen, the colours seem different to everyone.

It's possible they are underground, or invisible. I had a scattering of dots on my land that proved to be invisible 1cm spheres, almost impossible to find. And each one consumed a prim. :-/

You can view invisible things with control-alt-t (view transparent).

Oh, blessed Auto-return!

I also haven't found a legend for the mini-map. It would be great to know why some objects on there appear magenta, others this bright teal. Well, I know the bright aquamarine color is MINE, but the rest baffle me.

Hmm... Must look into this further.
