how do you find the closest star system with a station?

I'm sure I'm missing this, but can't find it ... coming home from a short 800 ly romp outside of habited space, I want to find the closest entrance point with a station --- how do I search for one in the galaxy map?

Put the galaxy map to show economies (allegiance would work as well). The first system you hit will invariably be an extraction outpost. Zoom the map out a bit until you see them. Pick the closest.

I guess we've forgotten the lessons Google taught us in the future?
Why on earth there isn't a "filter on systems w/ stations" makes zero sense to me.

Just use the population filter.

But like Exile said, the filter for allegiance, economy, or government all function as a filter for systems with stations. You can use the population slider too, just nudge it a little from zero.

Because it is redundant. Every system with a station has an economy, systems without a station do not. Similarly (see above) any system with a population above zero has a system.
