Displayed map of your journey through the galaxy

[Pirate Hell]

This may be in the wrong thread, but someone asked how I did it and I thought I would share it with the community.

There are two ways I know of to see a cool map of where you have traveled in the Galaxy. Both are 3d maps of your flight paths. You have to upload your log data from D:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\elite-dangerous-64\Logs where D: is you install directory. On both sites you can upload multiple logs at a time I am not sure how many, I did about 10 or 20 at a time as I had done it back to the beginning of when I started. Both sites you need to have a profile and be signed up, I cannot believe with all the data on http://inara.cz/ you cannot do this, it must be a fairly easy script. The first is https://www.edsm.net/user/flight-logs/id/9608/cmdr/Pirate+Hell a little ways down the page is a green button "+ Import netLog". When done click "Travel Map" tab and zoom in to see your map(not as pretty), the second site is http://en.ed-board.net/?m=stats a little ways down on the right click the "Upload My Log" button, then scroll dow and click the field that explains where the netLog is located. When done click "MAP" on the left context menu and select data you wish to display (a little prettier and interactive).

This is the map of my alt-account making it to Colonia in a Sidewinder.

I was using ED Discovery along the way. I was parked at Polo Harbour when 2.2 landed and I switched to EDD5 to log the remainder of the journey.
The nice thing about EDD is the EDSM integration. If you signup to EDSM, you get an API key which you can paste into EDD. Every flight log then gets synced to EDSM to provide a trace of where you've been.

This is mine currently, however it's far from complete, as I didn't use EDD at all until a few months before the DWE set out, so I have almost a year of exploring that isn't on the map at all:

Heh. I dumped all my old logs (I forget why) while at Beagle, and only started using edsm a while after that; my edsm map shows me starting on the far side of the galaxy and heading towards civilisation.

Here's mine:

I only started using EDD in January, but I recreated as much of my earlier journeys as I could by manually inputting the systems I had recorded in notes & screenshots and then reverse trilaterating them (many thanks to the CMDRs who selflessly make this possible by entering distances in EDD/EDSM).
