Some of these may have been suggested already, and if so, are worth mentioning again. I For the most part think the galactic map and system map are fairly easy to use, but a few things become frustrating when you are trying to research/view systems info.
Camera: Stop having the camera reset when going from galactic map, to system view, then back.
This gets frustrating when you’re trying to do research and you are clicking different systems to get more info about them. It would be great if the camera held the last location when going back to the galactic view. Only reset when you click the reset camera button (an easy thing to add I would think?), or leave the galactic view altogether.
Navigation search text box: Add an auto-fill feature.
For me, I’m not that great of remembering system names and sometimes want to go back to one because they have a ship upgrade, or something, I’m looking for that I could not afford the last time I was there, etc. So, let’s say I’m looking for LHS 3447, but only remember “LHS 3” something something. Typing “LHS 3” the navigation box could show like top 5 choices that begin with “LHS 3”. Maybe add a checkbox that would limit it to only those systems you visited.
Improve info on systems when in galactic map view:
When in galactic view and you mouse over a system (not clicking on it) it would be great if you’d get better summary info about the system (limit this to only systems previously been to or paid for system data). For example: Number of stations, predominant faction (Federal, anarchy, etc), Status (friendly, wanted, etc), resource extraction site, has a commodity market (a black market?), shipyard, ship outfitting, and anything else I didn’t think of. This info could be kept very general overall.
Again, these are only minor gripes for the most part but I think they would be useful upgrades.

Now that you mentioned it I'm adding it to my wish list.
