How to use the sonar in Island Experiment

One of the items you can buy from the regular shop is called the Sonar. This is an item that spits out piles of gold coins every few minutes. If you leave them alone, you can have up to 6 piles scattered about your island. Coin piles are placed randomly all over the visible parts of your island; it's your job to go find them and collect them. Sometimes, however, the piles end up behind things and are hard to see. Luckily, the sonar has a "find" feature. When your sonar has an exclamation mark over it:

Just click the sonar and you will be zipped over to where one pile is sitting. If you don't see it at first, zoom your game in all the way and look. If you still don't see it, turn on the green X move tool. Coin piles are movable, so they will be brightly lit. If the pile is behind a non-movable object, simply grab the pile and move it out to plain ground and then you will be able to collect it. If you don't see the pile, but a movable building is in the center of your screen, move the building and look behind it for the pile.

There is also a "super sonar" that can be purchased occasionally with real money. It works exactly the same way as the regular one but the coin piles are larger.

The more often you collect coin piles, the less likely they are to hide behind things. If you ever reach the point where you don't really need the money generated by the sonar, you can just leave the coin piles scattered about, or you can move them to one spot and decorate with them.
