Johnny come Lately checkins?

So I got on the roster as a latecomer, and am headed out on my way.

I've been reading everything I can find, and can't find anything about how to do checkins (which I assume are needed) along the way. I read about EDSM, but apparently that ship has sailed (no pun intended).

Am I wrong to think it is necessary? And if it isn't, how does one show they actually made the trip?

(Being retired I'm not worried about the slog to catch up, it's not a big deal)
 
Many of us don't use EDSM, it's fine, I'm keeping my own map as we go.

Yeah, I just post some pics sometimes and keep a log of sorts on my main ship's write-up entry on the forums.

Not sure if there will be an in-game decal or the like for getting to Beagle Point this time around or similar, but then I suppose some sort of varification would be needed on Frontier's side of things and possibly ours.
 
There isn't any official checkin requirements. the main reasons why people go to the WP's are for a) their own satisfaction b) to meet and enjoy the shenanigans that happen there c) some people like me use EDSM and i like to see the build of the bar to show my progress, plus the travel map. Maybe there are a few more reasons that i cant think of at this time.

Take lots of pictures and enjoy the ride. It's your own personal achievement. Wish we had ingame achievements and FDev could of added things like this expedition and others to the list
 
the problem with EDSM though is the badges are not accurate. I came across an undiscovered black hole the other day when i went across to Colonia. the badge came online when the log updated to EDSM and way before i sold the data in-game.

EDSM discoveries are always by first upload. No matter if sold or not.
