Newcomer / Intro any websites that list the journey between point A and Z?

[Darkspecialist]

like i like to play with my ipad at my side so i dont have to alt tab out when i want to look something up. Often i have wondered exactly how far i am from where i started to where im going. like if you started in system A and you were traveling to system Z and theres 20 jumps in between a separate website could let you follow along be it on your phone, ipad or you alt tabbed out..

or is there a menu overlay i can watch as im flying in game?

Both eddiscovery and edmc with Canonn plugin will tell you about where you are. Don't know anything that will tell you about where you aren't, nor any reason for anyone to develop such a tool.

Open the Galmap - the grey dotted part is where you were - the filled in line is where you have fuel too, and the dotted line is where you are going.

edsm will show you the jumps you made recently (if you are uploading) - external tools don't know where you are going, unless you are neutron jumping using something like spansh

You can open Inara on your Ipad and see your flight log and bunch of other info. Nearest stations, commodities, services and much more. Just get EDMC installed.

Or if you just want to know how many jumps you still have to go, that's shown on the left side HUD in the nav panel, middle top.
Can be a bit depressing at times, though. 268...267...266...265...

I'm surprised that nobody has made a 3D visualisation tool for all the EDSM/EDDB/Inara data; sort of a configurable super-Galaxy-Map. It would seem an obvious, though perhaps not the simplest to make, tool for visualising that data in relation to your current location.

Ed makes it look easy because it's all proc gen. For 3rd parties to do anything (even with their tiny percent of the galaxy known) is not practical. A list of known systems is already 4gb of data, and processing all that in real time takes much much longer than when it's all proc gen.

Well, there is https://edastro.com/, but that won't (I think) zoom in close enough for what the OP wants.
