How to create "i" icon on map (InfoHub/TeleHub)
I was curious to know how to show "infohub" on the world map. In the viewer this is set by the "Extra2" parameter in a map data object (OpenSimulator always hardcodes this to "0" which makes an object a "TeleHub" instead of an actual "InfoHub" - but it's not particularly useful for anything in modern times besides putting an "info" icon on your map!). *First* select/edit a prim (such as the OSW beacon), then hit Alt-R to bring up estate manager, on the region tab is TeleHub button to the right, click to open that dialog and hit "connect". then you will see an "I" icon on your world map. Not super useful but maybe someone will find it helpful.

The idea of an i-icon was that a visitor can see the information area at a sim. Where people get the main infos where e.g. a sim info board was placed. Good for e.g. RP sims in a non-RP area, where people could inform themselves before entering the RP area. This is so since I joined sl in 2007, and OS took that over. So for such sims its also always best to set landing point also there. I see a big advantage with that information icon in OS in var sims, nothing negative. A telehub conected with a spawn point (details in FS help) also make sure that there are no "avatar towers" in crowded sims, so avatars dont land onto each other.
