I think it would be a great idea if there was some way we could enter coordinates of a place and fly there instead of having to have the landmark. There are many places i go to do business and forget to make a landmark there so i can finish up the next day. i do not have the landmark but i can remember the coordinates. And its kinda hard flying around and trying to get the right coordinates especially if you're in a differnt town...:D

each sim replicates the same coordinates which means you'd have to remember the coordiates and the sim name. Landmarks are much easier (IMHO).

I think the teleporter should have the 2 options.

1 is teleport to a landmark.

2 is teleport to a specified co-ordinate.


For the 2nd you would have a dropdown menu to pick the sim you want, then 2 boxes to type the X and Y co-ordinates.

I agree with dee, it would definately make teleporting and autofly more flexible.

Or what about this one... In addition to those 2 features, there'd also be a 3rd feature for the more daring people.

Teleport to random location :D



Only thing is it would have to do some kind of check to make sure it didnt put you stuck in the middle of an object. Hehe. Stuck inside the wall of a giant castle in the sky, how sad. :)
