I'm pretty new to this aswell so I can't say for sure, but I think this will give you data intel. Atleast that's what I got from scanning satellites. I don't remember if they were called inactive though.
You need to scan them with the Data scanner to make them active. When scanned you will either get a data package worth credits or an instruction to scan two more Data Points within ~45 seconds. So if you see one look for others before scanning.
There is a bug in the system so you need to bind your Data Scanner to the primary trigger for it to work.
Why you didn't work that out is hard to figure.
It is not intuitive.

Actually its "firing deploys hardpoints". Someone else on the forums had to tell me as no matter what I bound the scan button to it did nowt.
I just scanned a satellite, and when done scanning it said inactive.
You couldn't by any chance have found a satellite you have scanned earlier?

yes, it's quite easy to end up driving in circles especially in the dark, with lots of hills, and no skill to read coordinates and compass heading

Very possible - I hadn't realized that after you scan a data point it will show as inactive. Thanks!
