# Visitor Radar

SpeedLight Visitor Radar resides at the Summary screen of the avatar:

![Summary view with Visitor Radar (tablet/desktop view)](https://4060892832-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-Lmt-TOo0Y8Xr12P7CcX%2Fuploads%2F2Elb04q6xC9CBPRkxIxK%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=4f8ef6aa-3b4e-4723-bdbe-db21eb47377d)

Radar scans the sim you're in every 5 seconds. It shows:

* residents (as color-coded dots),
* the distance between you and them,
* the time you have been seeing them around.

Radar works sim-wide, giving you an ability to monitor your parcel/sim from any distance (including skyboxes).

### Residents list

Recently teleported visitors appear at top of the list:

Residents close enough to you have a view direction arrow:
