It allows you to track someone, even when they teleport across the sim. So your friend could approach you, say "Follow me, Ordinal," and then TP to the location of interest. Search for "Follow me" or "Procyon games" to pick up a copy in-world. Perhaps you would be interested in my Follow Me HUD. It allows you to track someone, even when they teleport across the sim.

Occasionally "phantom" pings arise but they are not reliable and not reproducible, to the extent that I actively screen them out. Such has been the case for the whole time of my scripting, and whilst I would be extremely happy to see it fixed, I have not noticed any recent change.

TPing someone in does still work, despite the telehubs - if you go to a place and send someone a TP, you will arrive on the spot. Only tping in on yourself (based on landmarks or mappin ppl) will route you through the telehub. Oh, and scanning over sim borders works fine - when working on my sim monitor, I was constantly monitoring the neighbouring sims border areas from sensors in my own home sim with exact locations for those avatars. I know that several monitors have problems with locating avatars in neighbour sims, but funny enough I never had those problems in my own scripts (and a friend did a simple modification of the well-known otter monitor to not have that problem, either).
