I've been up and down like a yo yo
I look for interesting systems on all planes and just head off

At what plane do you typically travel?
- Thread starter CMDR Thrope
- Start date
I tend to go with my friends Zig and Zag (no, not the daft puppets from the planet Zog). It makes the journey 5 times longer, but ohh so much more interesting 
All over the shop!
Which brings me to my question of how can I find out of my current co-ordinates?
I only discovered today that you can enter co-ordinates in to the route planner!

You can enter co-ords in the route planner? lol, the beauty of ED, something learned every day.....Now all I need is how to find the co-ords of where I actually am....
Hang on...... I think I've miss read something in another post!!! Sorry!
It was a surprise to me when I first read it, but it might not to be the case.
Currently at work so unable to check.

No you're right
You can enter galactic coordinates in the search bar to find systems etc in the map

You need to have "Show Grid" selected in the GalMap Options page.
What format do we need to enter in the search bar for the co-ordinates? I can't get it to work!

Like telling us the "HOME" button takes us back to our current location ?
two things learned today - there's a function attached to the Home button ?! (is that next to the "Any" Key ?)
On my way out I travelled as high as I could get but settled on about +1200 - now on my way back on -1070
//Goes off to try typing co-ords into the Nav tab......

That's good to hear!
Haven't tried it but I would follow this: -
Will try it tonight!
In many situations i had to go up or down near the rim or beetween arms to keep density up. Only 100ly or so, but near the plane i often find brown dwarves oceans.
On a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again.
I have no idea where I am in co-ordinate notation. I started off ten days ago to visit the Crab Nebula and got distracted. Still haven't got there.
I set off at the end of January to visit Heart and Soul, still 900ly away and, after many distractions, approaching from the far side to inhabited space...
Anything from -1000 to -2500 all the way to the core. Returning home I am slowly climbing on the way back. Presently at -600 until the bug bites and then I'm off like a scalded cat running after a dormouse at the slightest curiosity.......blink and I'm back at -2000 again :S
This thread caused me to do a bit of experimentation. I went down 1 Kylie and found a really decent density of ns and wd, not enough to bore, but enough to keep the income high. It takes a little longer than at the centre, and ELW are even rarer, but I think I prefer it.
So far following an arm for 20 Kylie or so it has been pretty consistent

You can enter coords into the route planner? Whaaaat? I did not know that!All over the shop!

What else did you think the numbers were for? It really didn't need explaining.
Leaving on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again...
And I'm usually Z -1250
Galactic coordinates are clearly X,Z,Y
X being left-right
Z being up-down
Y being coreward-rimward
It's why I give out coordinates alongside system names in the same format Galaxy Map gives them.
