I am wondering how given a set of coordinates I can visit all of them according to some precomputed trajectory. The problem is that llSetPos makes for choppy motion, and I am wondering what is a way to achieve same effect as llSetPos but have the object move between those coordinates in a smooth uninterrupted motion.

You'll probably want to make it physical and use llTarget/llMoveToTarget to move it instead. That and llLookAt to change the rotation.

using smaller moves in set pos reduces choppiness, especially if you are NOT riding said object (riding tends to magnify the perception of choppiness)

From: Void Singer using smaller moves in set pos reduces choppiness, especially if you are NOT riding said object (riding tends to magnify the perception of choppiness) I already tried this way before, and think I will have to use physical object ones because I would also have control over time that way. |

I have seen vehicle stations next to roads on old mainland regions, i think its the second continent northesastern part where there are small TAXI-PLANES that move along linden-roads and far over various parcels along a set circular course that was a dozen regions long. And they do that smoothly and fast enough not to get autoreturned.
the math is yours. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_(mathematics)

If the object has to be nonphysical, consider the 'nonphy' vehicle scripts in the library, but keep in mind that this method is very laggy: it's bad for the sim, esp if you use 8 helper scripts as suggested (I find that 3 or 4 work fine).
