It appears to actually follow the scaling of the screen ED is on. I moved it to my top monitor (1600 x 1200), and it was much easier to read. It went back to the unreadable size as soon as I launched ED. Opening with shift-mousover did make it expand down onto the ED screen, so maybe that's why it re-scaled. There doesn't seem to be a way to expand upwards, so I'm stuck with leaning way forward to read the compass.

Is this why I've been getting the following CAPI errors in my log, even though I'm logged in to CAPI:

I'm exporting my current ship to Coriolis and it's not quite right. I don't know if it's EDD at fault or Coriolis itself.
This is the Coriolis link generated.
The error is that the Planetary Vehicle Hangar is actually in a Class 4 slot, and the Class 5 slot that it is shown in is empty:
From that point on, everything is shifted up by one slot, and it's showing an empty Class 1 slot which is not the case.
If I put something in the empty Class 5 slot, then the problem goes away until I remove the part.

The issue comes from Elite itself, you'll have this problem with any exporting tool, it's caused by the lack of info on the occupied slot, the info is just the order, the tools are just guessing when taking the required space in account.
Question, I have been using EDMC and EDD for quite some time, in the EDMC there are options for sending data to EDDN, send station data and send system and scan data to EDDN. Is that the exact same data that EDD sends when you have send Event information to EDDN checked?
When I started using EDD, I had no idea that it sent data! I was already running EDMC, so I probably double-sent for a while. I've stopped using EDMC now as it is no longer being maintained. I know it still works, but it makes sense to only run the one that I actively use for other purposes.
A new video on the carrier panel. Note right clicking on the itinerary tab is a 16.1 feature. That's out soon.

The CAPI tabs don't work for me but I imagine that this is a side-effect of the FD servers being broken?
Yes. CAPI behaviour will change in the next update making it work better (hopefully).
Release EDDiscovery Release 16.1 Compass, Spansh Import, EDSY import, much more · EDDiscovery/EDDiscovery
Pack updates: Remember to check if a more recent pack is available of the other ones. Video updates: Warning: If you're using a laptop, with a built in APU and GPU, make sure you tell the system...
github.com
Pack updates:
- Remember to check if a more recent pack is available of the other ones.
Warning:
- If you're using a laptop, with a built in APU and GPU, make sure you tell the system to use the GPU for EDD. See https://www.howtogeek.com/351522/how-to-choose-which-gpu-a-game-uses-on-windows-10/ Lots of APUs appear to have buggy or incomplete openGL implementations.
- Compass panel rewrite - better presentation, more configuration options. See the compass video at Source: https://youtu.be/s-AVEYq5vCo
- Spansh Import - import routes from spansh into the expedition panel. From there, they are available for the surveyor to guide you through the galaxy. All spansh exports work. Open the spansh web panel to do this, export to csv and it will be automatically written to a expedition panel. See the video on how this is done at Source: https://youtu.be/qeLnq-pU14
- Expedition - allow arbitrary x/y/z and systems and save the locations to the DB. Route note can be assigned to a waypoint in expedition. For Spansh imports, its the spansh note, else its a user entered note. This is displayed in the surveyor.
- Combat grid can be filtered for event types
- Carrier panel - the itinerary has a right click to open the system on EDSM or to get system data on it. See the video on the carrier panel at Source: https://youtu.be/zot3a7uHQfQ
- Resources panel added. This and the materials, commodities and microresources panel get a shopping list option, with a wanted column stating how many of an item you want. Transparent mode for shopping lists added. See the video on the new resources panel operation at Source: https://youtu.be/U1id5TxS8bs
- Can import a shopping list from EDSY to the resources panel. See the video on how this is done at Source: https://youtu.be/qeLnq-pU14
- Support DLL panels. DLL can export a panel to EDD which can be inserted into the UI just like any built in panel. Updated DLL interface with more features. Example DLL which you can build immediately is at https://github.com/EDDiscovery/EDDiscoveryAdditionalDLLs
- Import dialog - you can now drop a file onto the import pad (or type yourself) and import that way, instead of naming a file
- Search queries - you can now get information on siblings of top level bodies, such as stars, using sibling[]
- EDD now accumulates touchdowns and approach body settlements and assigned them to the body you've landed on. You can see that in the scan text of a body or via the compass drop down.
- Add surface temperature to surveyor data output (selectable)
- CAPI authorisation changed to fix error in Frontier servers. This was introduced by frontier at the start of March and requires a change to EDD to make it work again
- Optimised modules/outfitting/shipyards/missions/factions to only refresh when required
- Improve setting start/stop flags in travel history so its easier to work with - no refresh now needed
- Update module list for update 14
- SQL processing thread now waits forever for lock, in case that was causing some DB corruption
- Sorting of suit names fixed in suit/weapons
- Removed EDDB references and panel :-(
You've been busy...
