Improved Galaxy Map

This is no doubt a common request, but the Galaxy Map *desperately* needs a thorough overhaul -- the fact that many players (myself included) have to flip back and forth between Elite: Dangerous & a web browser with eddb.io in order to figure out their next destination shows that there's a major shortfall in the map's current functionality.

We've had Google Maps since the 20th Century -- it's hard to believe the Galaxy Map would be so much less functional in the 32nd!

To be a nitpick... if it's 3303; that's the 34th century not the 32nd.

I hear you however on the issues with this... The thing is that I get the distinct impression since playing this game that the devs opened up the API with the intention that it would free them up to handling content. This is why we have such a thriving third-party software assistance program for this game.

I don't think we're going to be seeing them taking back from that assistance market any time in the near future. Good luck with that happening though.
