Sorry for what is probably a really simple question, but I can't find the info in knowledgebase. I want to build a teleport system on my 512m land on the mainland. I mean, I want to set where people land when they teleport in, and then I want something that they can see to click on to choose other points to go to on my land. Can someone please direct me to a resource/tutorial in forums, knowledge base, or in world?
Thanks.

Go to Cubey Terra's store and get his free Mark IV teleporter. Use those for your in-sim teleport stations. They work fine even if the parcel or the whole sim has a designated teleport arrival point. The stations are two prims each, one of which is temp on rez, so it really only counts as one per destination. Each destination has a notecard-controlled menu for the multiple destinations it can reach. That means you can also use them for a 'chain' of allowed destinations, where going to one only will take you to the next. Their distance limit is pretty much anywhere in the same sim. I use one to access a skybox at over 700M altitude, in one stage from ground level.
Since you're talking about a 512 M2 parcel, I presume you're accessing one or more simple skyboxes. Cubey's Teleporter does very well for that.
Set the parcel landing point for the location of your ground station, and use the pads to go anywhere else.

No problem. You'll find the teleporters in a box on the second floor of his aerodrome store, at one end of the building, on shelves with other free items.

I guess he's remodeled recently, and hasn't gotten all his merchandise back out on the shleves. Looked all over Cubey's, but couldn't find teleporter. And, yes, the skybox thing is exactly what I want to do. I'll keep searching, but other suggestions appreciated....
Thanks again.

You can also find his teleporters on SlExchange.

Thanks for the additional help. It's great that asking a question leads to more than I anticipated. In the process of looking for a teleporter, I've been inttroduced to skydiving and the fact that there is a whole other venue (SLExchange).
Thanks again!

I had trouble finding them at first myself. It's on the second floor, and I think it's the left end, as you enter the store. Now of course, he certainly *could* have moved things around since I was there last. If nothing else works for you, IM me in-world, and I will give you a copy, boxed exactly as he distributes it at his store. It's a freebie, so there's no problem with that.
