Please tell me how, or where to learn how, to teleport to an arbitrary location. To use zonkster, I understand that one needs to TP to Chugiradk 224. 217. 34 but I have no clue how to do that. Besides an immediate answer, I would like to know how one should learn this or similar things for oneself.

open the map, type in the co-ordinates, when the red circle comes up double click on it - teleport

open your map. Do a search for the region you want to TP to. when then sim comes up, highlight it. Then type in the coordinates in the fields provided.

Or at startup, you can type in the region and coordinates like so in your login window instead of your home location: Chugiradk/224/217/34 and you will be rezzing there when you get online.

It's pretty easy!
1. Click on the MAP tab at the bottom of your screen.
2. Enter the SIM to search for (Chugidadk in your case).
3. After it finds the SIM on the MAP, enter the coordinates (224, 217, 34 in your case).
4. Click on TELEPORT button in the MAP.

Like all things, the easiest way to learn is to try different things. Don't be afraid to color outside of the lines. It's a brand new world with lots of things to discover!!!

GOOD LUCK

Also note that if that parcel has a landing point set, then you'll end up at the landing point no matter what coordinates you type in. In that case you'll have a red beacon marking the coordinates you asked for, and you'll have to fly/walk to get the rest of the way.

And when, despite having typed in the right coordinates, you end up at some other place in the sim, that's because a landowner has decided to use "TP routing" (or, more likely, just forgot to change the option on the parcel). Helpfully, there will be a big red "beacon" showing you where you really wanted to go, so you can walk towards that. Then, when you fight your way past the no-entry barriers and hypersensitive security systems to the actual destination, the red beacon will disappear (or, if the ravenous hounds get to you first, you can give up and "Clear" it from the Map, or "Stop tracking" it from the Mini-Map). Be brave!
