Scanner Map[]

The Main Screen displays the map area the Agent is in, detecting assets within range.

While the map updates, the Scanner will also detect damage, whether it is a Resonator Resonator losing XM from decay, or an Agent taking down Portals. The Scanner will also detect new Links and Control Fields Δ when they are created.

Scanner Map Layers[]

Scanner Map Layers

Agents can activate one of four following specialized Map layers:

Visited: Adds a 🞅 (purple circle) around every Portal the Agent has ever visited.
Captured: Adds a 🞅 (red circle) around every Portal the Agent has ever captured.
Scout Controlled: Adds an 🞅 (orange circle) around every Portal the Agent has ever Scout controlled and marks volatile Portals with a revolving [] (yellowish "square bracket enclosed box").
Dronenet: Unveils all Drones' positions (regardless of Faction) within the Scanner range.

Selecting OPS Prime-OPS-Main will bring up a menu, where an Agent can use their Drone, visit the Store, or Nominate a Portal.

  • Community: Visit the official Ingress community forums.

  • Events: See any occurring and future events on the map.

Scanner XM Reserves[]

The higher the Agent's level, the more XM they can carry in their reserves. Recursing does not allow an Agent to keep their XM tank capacity.
