let us persistently run the galmap in a separate window

I don't know how radical this would be from a design perspective, but I'd be into it even if it only ran well at a lower resolution.

thx

I'm looking forward to tinkering with the new stuff in the beta next week.

Yes, I have EDSM permanently running in a separate window on a second monitor because this is easier than constantly switching to the in-game map for data on planets I have just scanned. It would be nice if this facility existed in-game. If the planet is landable, you cannot even get the information on the type of body without switching to the map because the landing tell-tales overwrite it in the target info panel (as an aside, that should be toggleable).

What if we could run the galaxy map on a smartphone or tablet via an Elite: Dangerous "App"

It wouldn't disadvantage you in any way - it would just be a feature you didn't have - like the journals - it wouldn't impede you.

I'd love this. It's along similar lines to what I was discussing here recently about being able to undock the right and left UI screens as well. It's not something I'd use all the time since I am often working on my secondary monitor but I'd love to be able to have the option sometimes.
