Setting a Home Location

If you log into Second Life without having set a home location, each time you log in you will usually land in a random spot. You will probably end up at one of the Info Hubs, or you may land in a community that is known to be newcomer friendly. If you want to end up in the same place every time, it is a good idea to set a location as "home".

There are several ways to do this:

If you look at the toolbars of your viewer, you will see a heading "World" and under this is the option to "Set this place as home." You can 'set home' to an Info Hub, to land that you own, to a place you are renting, and sometimes to land that is owned by one of your groups.

Even if you can't set a place as 'home' you can return to the same place each time by ending your visit at the same location and then setting "last location" as your destination when you log in again.

You can also save a location as a landmark by going to the same "World" heading and marking "Landmark this place" and/or "Save to Favorites". This will put the location in your 'Landmarks' folder and/or your Favorites bar. You can also save this location in your Profile Picks.

Your 'home' will show as an icon on the Second Life map.

(If you have visited a location you like and forgot to set a landmark, you might be able to find it again in your Teleport History.)
