Option in Galaxy map to orient view based on ship's orientation

Basically a "stellarium" sort of view inside the existing galaxy map.

Setting the option puts the camera's point of origin on the current system and orients and locks the view of the map to your ship's current orientation and roll, thus providing pretty much the same view of the stars as you'd get from your cockpit. This gives us a way to navigate via visible stars without having either a cluttered HUD or any reinvention of the HUD - "just" a camera relocation in the existing galaxy map. If it's a checkbox option then it can persist through sessions or returning to cockpit view.

As I've been out exploring, I missed a feature like the one you described: there is no tool atm to transfer the cockpit view direction for use in the starmap as route direction. That's why it is so difficult to target a interesting star or nebula that could be seen - but has not been indicated on the starmap.
