When you travel across SL in your vehicle you know the problem: At sim crossings or when bumping into a locked parcel you get thrown off and can't continue your travel.

What to do? Either you teleport home, which is somewhat boring and uncool, or you hunt around for a parcel where you may re-rez your vehicle to continue your travel, which is tedious and time-consuming.

This is where I can help: I developed a HUD button that finds the nearest place in the current region with "build object" permission.

So when you get thrown off your vehicle:

1) You press the HUD button (you may re-texture this as you like)

2a) A map pops up where the nearest place to re-rez your vehicle is already marked

2b) If there is no available parcel in the current region, the button turns red instead

3) You fly, walk or teleport to the target destination

4) You rez your vehicle and continue your journey

Even though the tool is scanning the whole region, operation is very efficient and usually completed in less than a second. The tool does not induce any lag, because it is purely touch activated without active listeners or scanners.

The HUD object is copy/mod so that you may redesign it as you like. The script is copy only. Thus you may add it to any outfit and keep backup copies, too.

All this for only L$99!

Happy travels!
