If there's only one bio-signal, then there's nothing to scroll through. You can only switch maps when there is more than one signal

So how on earth do I find it?
land in one of the blue areas. On teh way down you can turn the blue map off to see the sunlit side of the planet. I switch back and forth between teh sunlit view and the blue view when searchign for a landing location. You switch views by changing between Analysis and Combat modes.
That's not going to help me figure out where on that planet the signal is. The blue will turn off automatically when you drop. That doesn't concern me.
Not having any clue on earth where the signal is is the problem.
Edit to add: Also, all I have is the default flight suit.
You have to land and search for it. It is not a POI signal...
Edit: and if you do not have the Artemis suit then there is nothing you can do except look at it and take screenshots.
I hate being a newb.
OK, so, here it comes...
Where do I get an Artemis suit? Let me guess...about 5,400 light years from where I presently am.
One must use experience and the Mark I Eyeball to search for the plant life. It becomes easier as you learn where to expect certain types of plants, terrain-wise. Anywhere in the blue areas is a spot where the plant (in this case a bacterium) can be found. Bacterium can be difficult to spot on some terrain because they are flat to the ground. Depends on the colors a bit.
So it's literally a "get out of the car and look around on the ground for it until you find it" deal?
Or at one of the DSSA carriers that have a Pioneer shop. To find one, go here and choose the DSSA filter on the right.I hate being a newb.

If you're willing to wait, i can jump my carrier out to where you are or near where you are and you can buy one in my concourse.I hate being a newb.

Yeah. Well I do stay in the SRV a lot, some of the plants can be some distance apart, and you have to find 3 samples that are far enough apart to represent "diversity".
I actually just landed on the planet and shut down for the day. But that would be VERY cool if you could pull that off. How much is it?
Keep going and head for a DSSA fleet carrier, turn in your exploration data and buy your suit at the pioneer shop.

Oops, redundant post. Ya, Codger and Tyres are the salty dogs on this stuff.

That's the site that has some program I'm supposed to run while I explore? Sheesh...I've learned more and discovered more today than I have the entire 3.5 months I've been playing.
@Marvin the Martian This is probably a much faster option than waiting for my carrier, depending on where the nearest DSSA carrier is located.Keep going and head for a DSSA fleet carrier, turn in your exploration data and buy your suit at the pioneer shop.

The cow patty looking things?
OK. I'll do that then. Thanks large for the offer though. That was very cool.
No worries. I can't really do anything else in the game atm, but I can move my carrier...
Yes, that's exactly how they look. Only some are fancier than others. Fancy patties, I guess.
