I think the Vanguards update should include some squadron oriented Galaxy Map modes too.
The first is the faction mode. If the squadron supports a minor faction there should be a mode that shows that faction presence. One colour for controlled systems, other where they are merely present, perhaps 2 more for conflicts over the system's control and active retreats. I have suggested this before but it has become more relevant at least for our faction recently. Have been using squadron bookmarks for this, but with colonisation we have too many systems for this to be practical.
Second is the squadron colonies. Pretty straightforward: Show all the squadron member colonies the same way as your own colonies are shown.
There could also be shortcuts to the relevant PP map mode if the squadron supports a power, but that's a minor thing.
Edit: Another one: Carriers. Show where the squadron carrier is as well as the squadron member ones.
I'll throw in the old suggestions for bookmark rework as well. If new colours are impractical, at least give us a few different icons. Also reverse identifying the bookmarks. It'd be nice to see the bookmark name on the system or body info somewhere. I can't remember from my old bookmarks why I put one on a system 3 years ago, and trying to figure out ones someone else has placed is worse.
