Radar Map

* Chat range ring shows a distance of 20m; any avatars within this ring are within range for chat
* Coloured initials markers for each person showing them relative to you
* An arrow pointing in the direction you are facing
* Scale line and a number which shows the distance from you to the edge of the detection range
* Non linear scale; those closer to you will be more spread out

Detected People

* Above the radar map will be a list of all those detected, the closest will be at the bottom
* To the right of each person’s name is the distance in metres from you in brackets

Fixed or Rotating

* The map can either be fixed, showing north at the top and south at the bottom, or rotating which shows the direction you are facing at the top.
* Switch between them using the "Rotate Map" or "Fixed Map" menu options.

Notification Messages

* When switched on you will receive chat messages about anyone when they first come into range, when they move into chat range or when they leave the detection area.
* Only you will be able to see these notification messages.

Lock Target

* Rather than show up to 16 people you can lock onto a single target by clicking in the initials marker
* When the radar is locked to a target it will show the text in red and the marker initials in red

A clear radar thats simple to use, the chat range indicator is really handy when a group of you are moving around an area.

But what really makes this so good is the ability to lock onto a person and find them in a crowd, can I have one in rl please!!!

I can spin and turn on an option so the radar spins the targets relative to me so I just have to get them in front on the radar and travel straight. its sl sat nav, brilliant with my useless sense of direction.

The best radar I have seen SL. Full of nice futures. Great to find people in crowded places. This is a must have. No other radar gives you the location of the people you are looking for. Knowing chat range is also great either for privacy or to shout to someone else. The hud is compact and understandable. It comes without instructions and is a little limited on the range side but hopefully will be upgraded in future version. However, if you are looking for a radar, this is among the best and definetly my choice.

This is a wonderful Radar! It is easy to use and tells you what you need to know. No unnecessary bells and whistles.

This is definitely going on my screen!

Been using this HUD for some time being very happy with it. The compass giving directions of people nearby is a very useful feature i haven't seen in other avvie radars. Equally useful is the chat range indication (numerous times I've typed a line in local chat, then realized from the HUD I should probably repeat it after moving a bit closer). 90 meter range of the HUD is maybe a little bit on the short side, which is something i hope will be extended in future versions. Overall a top notch avatar radar and definitely one I'll continue to use.
