Unfortunately, world map cannot be scrolled to a low resolution so you can see whole map displayed at the same time. But you can move it to any direction. For technical reason, the map was divided into [[Grid Sector\|Grid Sectors]].

	To North, if you go, you will enter [[Far North Ocean]], with many sim clusters and microcontinents. Then, all ends and all you can see is the endless void. If you go to West (North-West from Sansara), you can see some other continents. These are destinations for sexual minorities: [[IGBC Continent]] is a gay place, while [[Mar Lesbiana]] is what its name says. So, if you belong to these sexual groups, go there. If not, there are many other places to go and visit. Also [[Europe Continent]] is a good destination for medieval roleplay.

	The world map can be zoomed to many levels. Some of them can be called ''sim view'', ''region view'', ''continent view'' and ''transcontinental view''. It is like in real world, where we can zoom Google maps to town view, region view, continent view and world view. To make things more logical, we will start with transcontinental view and go down to sim view.		The world map can be zoomed to many levels.

It is like in real world, where we can zoom Google maps to town view, region view, continent view and world view. To make things more logical, we will start with transcontinental view and go down to sim view.

			=== Transcontinental view ===

	[[File:Transcontinental View 1.png]]		[[File:Transcontinental View 1.png]]

	~~'''Transcontinental view'''.~~ After you teleport to Da Boom, open the world map and zoom it until you see something similar to the image to right. This is the best point to start our orientation. You can see your position on the map (and maybe also your home position if you have one nearby). To East, there are many large map structures, while to West, you see the oceans. This is the beginning. The large map structures you see are some of the large, mainland continents. They are huge and it is easy to fix them as orientation spots. The place you are, Da Boom sim, is the center of the grid, the best spot for orientation.

The place you are, Da Boom sim, is the center of the grid, the best spot for orientation.

	You are now inside continent [[Sansara]], yes, not in the center of the continent, but in the oldest part of it and the place with greatest historical importance. Now, you must learn that the large continents are Linden-owned, while the smaller map structures are private-owned (owned by an estate). Sansara is one of the largest continents. To North, you will see another one, smaller, [[Heterocera]]. Its round shape makes it easy to remember. Then, to North, you will see only tiny map structures, microcontinents and sim clusters. That is [[Little Northern Ocean]]. Then, more to North, you enter [[Northern Ocean]] and find two small continents: [[Wild West]] and [[Seductive Microcontinent\|Seductive]].

	Now, let's look to West. Here, all looks more tricky. It is a maze of microcontinents, sim clusters and [[Unassociated Sims]]. It is very confusing for everybody. Let's try to fix some borders here. A few small private-owned continents do exist in here. The first and closest to you is [[Caledon - Winterfel]]. Take a look at it. Between you and this continent, there is [[Little Pacific Ocean]]. If you look further to West, you enter [[Western Ocean]]. And in this ocean, a few continents can be found. For example, take a look at [[Uhre Continent]]. We will stop here for now.

	It is tricky to fix all these orientation spots in mind, but what is important for a newcomer to remember is: ''Da Boom is the oldest sim, it is the center of the map and is inside Sansara continent. The mainland continents can be divided into New World and Old World and are close to North East from Da Boom. There are many small private continents at West and North West from Sansara. The best orientation spot in West is Eden continent. The Premium Continents are in South. Zindra, the adult continent, is far to East.''

	~~'''Continental View'''.~~ This is important if you want to look with more accuracy at what is inside a continent, to a [[Subcontinent]]. ''The New World'' doesn't have too many distinct features. There are two urban settlements to be named: [[Nautilus City]] inside Nautilus, Linden Memorial inside [[Corsica]] and [[Kama City]] inside Zindra. ''The Old World'' has many such things. If you are in Da Boom and you look on the map, you can see what the image to right shows: The historical subcontinents of Sansara are in your face: [[Bay City]], [[Snowlands Subcontinent]], [[Color Sims]] and Volcano Subcontinent. In Heterocera, many other subcontinents await you: [[Heterocera Inner Waters]] include a vast coral delta. [[Mountains Of Heterocera]] are the largest mountains on the grid. North coast has some breathtaking landscapes. And don't forget that Heterocera is the home of [[Second Life Railroad]].

			=== Higher resolution ===

	~~'''Higher Resolution'''.~~ This is what you need to find your way. If you want to make an expedition across a continent or see what is nearby your home, switch to sim view or region view. Roads, railways, buildings, waterways or forests become visible. There are a few exceptions. Sometimes, land owners create a skybox at 300 meters high, for commercial reasons or to have some privacy from map viewers.		This is what you need to find your way.

It is tricky to fix all these orientation spots in mind, but what is important for a newcomer to remember is: ''Da Boom is the oldest sim, it is the center of the map and is inside Sansara continent. The mainland continents can be divided into New World and Old World and are close to North East from Da Boom. There are many small private continents at West and North West from Sansara. The best orientation spot in West is Eden continent. The Premium Continents are in South. Zindra, the adult continent, is far to East.''

	'''Continental View'''. This is important if you want to look with more accuracy at what is inside a continent, to a [[Subcontinent]]. ''The New World'' doesn't have too many distinct features. There are two urban settlements to be named: [[Nautilus City]] inside Nautilus, [[Linden Memorial]] inside [[Corsica]] and [[Kama City]] inside Zindra. ''The Old World'' has many such things. If you are in Da Boom and you look on the map, you can see what the image to right shows: The historical subcontinents of Sansara are in your face: [[Bay City]], [[Snowlands Subcontinent]], [[Color Sims]] and Volcano Subcontinent. In Heterocera, many other subcontinents await you: [[Heterocera Inner Waters]] include a vast coral delta. [[Mountains Of Heterocera]] are the largest mountains on the grid. North coast has some breathtaking landscapes. And don't forget that Heterocera is the home of [[Second Life Railroad]].		'''Continental View'''.

	'''Higher Resolution'''. This is what you need to find your way. If you want to make an expedition across a continent or see what is nearby your home, switch to sim view or region view. Roads, railways, buildings, waterways or forests become visible. There are a few exceptions. Sometimes, land owners create a skybox at 300 meters high, for commercial reasons or to have some privacy from map viewers.		'''Higher Resolution'''. This is what you need to find your way.
