Editing to amplify.

Use cases for map coordinates are fairly limited to region owners, most SL residents have little need of coordinates since region name are more memorable. However, for those like myself that enjoy numbers, we can make coordinates more visible in less intrusive ways.

Please add the following new Map coordinates information to the Second Life viewer.

  • Include X,Y coords in the Region/Estate floater, Region tab.
  • Include X,Y coords in the Map floater with a check box and default it to OFF.
    • When enabled X,Y coords should appear below the region name.

Requires UX review first.

Alternately we could take a contribution from a TPV with a robust Map.

Original feature request was.

It's easy to find a location within a Region by keying the name and X/Y/Z values into the World Map Display, but for Official Viewer users there's no way of establishing the position of the Region on the SL Grid.

Please could you arrange for the Grid Coordinates to be displayed next to the Region name in the bottom left corner of the World Map Display?

At the moment, you can find these in the Region-Estate/Region tab window if you're using the Firestorm viewer,

but NOT in the corresponding Official Viewer window

which seems an odd omission.

I have an Estate with just one Region, but people with more would surely find it helpful.
