I'm very new to SL and in what you might call the "Exploration" phase and have found some really nice places like DaVinci's but during my exploration I've noticed something. In-game if I try to TP to places with 0 traffic, or if I search the Destination Guide on the web I might be able to TP to maybe 1 out of 3 (at best). A lot of those places are unavailable. Is it too much to ask to get the guide and location database updated to remove those places you can't reach?

The destinations guide is hit and miss.  Places move regions or close regions quite often.  I usually have better luck just using search inworld, add a word of interest and tp around.  There are also a few blogs around with interesting destinations.  I will post any I can think of and I am sure others will

That was just from a quick google.  Yes you are right keeping it updated would be good but very difficult as there is so much else than needs to be updated :/  You could report missing places though

I would recomend you to create Flickr account and to follow for the beginning some groups focused on sharing slurls, later people (accounts) who share places to your liking. As destination blogger I do it same and it helps to find less known and less visited places as well.

I don't avoid blogging also the more visited, but I do not focus on them only, so I beleive I help travelers to find also something else than only well known places.

Like this one for the instance:

Mystic Forest

If you click on the picture, it will take you to my Flickr, slurls are always in descriptions under my landscape pictures (with very few exceptions when I didn't share it).

You can also check  groups I use for landscape photography, part of them ask members to add slurl in descriptions (as group rule), so it should help you to find more Flickr accounts doing so.

Just be aware that places in SL (esp. less visited ones) are very often alive only for short time, today they are here, two weeks (or sometimes two days) later they are gone. Its why is hard or impossible to update any destination guide and its past posts. And its why you will always find many dead slurls when you will check older pictures / blogpost / web posts. I can't even count how many places I got ready to publish and next week I didn't post them because they were already gone - thats nothing really unusal in SL.

Thank you very much for the explanations and links. It's good that that blog sites like those are available. I'll be sure to make use of them. 

I guess I should expect that places disappear like that. I'll remember to be patient.
