Today I thought I took a teleport wrong and tried it 3 times before I figured out the entrance was behind me.
Why do I sometimes spin the wrong way when I teleport?

Michael Linden once told me we all end up facing North (or something) when we teleport to a landing point. I always hated that folks would end up facing away from my establishment upon landing.
But I am probably completely wrong and some techie will post soon enough and set you straight. _____________________

If the land has a landing point set, then when you teleport there by using a landmark, you end up facing in the direction of the coordinates set by the landmark.
So if you own the land where you have a store and a landing point set, just create the landmark closer to the entrance of the store, and your customers, who use that landmark, will end up facing the store. |

Michael Linden once told me we all end up facing North (or something) when we teleport to a landing point. What I do is set the LP at the entrance of my store, and hand out landmarks that are a meter or so inside, so people show up at the entrance and facing in towards the store. _____________________

This has been bugging me for quite a while. I will try it after work today. Thanks!!!!  _____________________
