This truly is an advanced teleport system. With it, you can create a network of teleport stations to connect any number of spots on the same sim, without any setup. (Well, almost none, and as long as "any number" is 11 or fewer.) You can also chose any one of five eyecatching colors for each each teleporter (see photo). Yes, it's cleverly disguised as a stylish wastebasket.

Here's what you do:

1. Rez a copy of the Advanced Teleport System.
2. Select it with your Build/Edit tool and type a label in the Description space on the General page. As delivered, the teleporter's Description field says "Home". Your label should be an short identifier like that, a name for the place where you have rezzed the teleporter. It would be wise to make your label fewer than 12 characters long.
3. To change the color of a teleporter, left-click to activate it. When the dialog menu appears, do NOT teleport. Select the *COLOR* option. That will open the color menu and let you select from Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, or Silver. That menu will only appear for you, the owner.

That's it. Repeat the process at other places you will want to teleport to on the sim. The ONLY important thing to remember is that you shouldn't have two teleporters with identical place labels. You'll just get confused if you do that.

When you click on any of your teleporters, it will find where all of the others are and will offer you a menu of destinations. You can teleport to any other wastebasket in the system. Pick one, enjoy a delay of a few seconds, and you will be teleported to within 1 meter of the target spot.

Here's what makes it special:

1. It's easy to set up (see above).
2. You can move any of the rezzed teleporters anywhere you like without changing anything. You can add new ones to your network, or delete ones you don't want any more. Your teleport stations always know how to find each other.
3. You will not experience that disorienting side trip into limbo that is so common with in-sim teleporters. The Advanced Teleport System uses a clever system that moves you and your camera view directly, without going through the sim's "garbage collector" corner. (That said, you may find that you have to click the ESC key to restore your camera view if you have made a very long teleport -- 1000+ meters.)
4. A teleport unit can not move to position with parcel/region restrictions (object entry rules, prim limits, bans, etc), but will not be prevented from moving if the destination is on the other side of a restricted area. That is, the system does not need to dodge restricted areas to get where it's going.
