Summary view with Visitor Radar (tablet/desktop view)

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).
