A Scanner device is any device (phone, tablet, etc.) that utilizes and runs the Scanner (Ingress app).
Scanner Map[]
The Main Screen displays the map area the Agent is in, detecting assets within range.
- Portals, neutral or controlled, and their Resonators
and Portal Shields 
. - Links and Control Fields Δ from either faction.
- XM on the ground, and items that are dropped.
While the map updates, the Scanner will also detect damage, whether it is a 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[]
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.
OPS[]
Selecting OPS 
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.
- Dronenet: Use the Drone to remotely view and hack Portals.
- Events: See any occurring and future events on the map.
- Missions: View and complete any Missions nearby.
- Nominations: Nominate a point of interest, and bring a Portal into the network.
- Scores: View the Cell scores, top Agents and global scores.
- Settings: Adjust the lighting dynamics, notifications and sound.
- Store: View and purchase Premium items, and redeem Passcodes.
The influence area has a 40 meter radius, no matter the Agent's level. With the exception of recharging Portals remotely via Portal Key 
, Agents cannot do anything outside the area of influence.
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.
