Yes. This. And make the right click audio ping be useful, i.e. have a 1km range not just the spitting distance inside a helmet.

Initially make the collection canisters have three separate LED lines, so you can scan three species at once. And the ping range increased to 1km. Current range made a little more sense when biologicals were much denser, now it makes no sense at all.
Then, after those simple fixes, do more thinking about how to make it more immersive and interesting with chance of secondary reward, and also add something like this for rocks, that is the one thing we are guaranteed on every world we explore... and now the rock design and scatter are good, simple rock drilling for finding evidence of past habitability, fossils, low amounts of mining valuables, etc. It would really help flesh out exploration and give more to do, everywhere

Yes, the ping should be a wide area scan for potential items of interest, sort of like firing a drone up into the air about 500m up and doing a quick survey, then stuff shows up in the compass bar like it does now for organics that show up after the ping, but with 1-5km range, so you can decide which way you want to drive, right now there is no incentive to walk or drive in the SRV for me, after i sample one plant I jump back in my toyota cor... I mean my viper and fly around like a madman eyeballing the ground.... while there is an element of discovery in visual identification I cannot believe that in 3307 that's the way scientists work...
