Teleports in Cybalounge, in location 
and to another location 
Updated 4/7/2018
You can set the landing point in Cybalounge, but the area is 512 X 512 meters (512 meters = about 1/3 mile). You may have important places scattered all over that area. People want to go fast. For that you need a teleporter prim.
