It plots if the location is know, otherwise you have to triangulate. Most people seem to triangulate once every 1000ly (the end of a plotted route), sometimes more often every couple hundred. Alternatively, don't bother. When you go somewhere popular, you are likely to pass through a known system. Your map will look horrid and jerky, but the more you put in, the more you get out

Watch this and copy, you may need as may as 8 0r 10 reference points, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0awTeGuedmY
So - I got this far... and had to turn back
Namely, the stars started to run out - to the point where it was still possible to go further (I reckon I could have managed another 100ly-200ly maybe. - however doing so means a great deal of backtracking and circuitous routes - as the place is a nest of blind dead end alleys.
Also the route tracker does now work, as routes involve doubling back.
This was really illustrated when I looked to navigate back, and:
- the route plotter is no help, as it can't handle doubling back
- the route back also looked like a nest of blind alleys - literally you could not see which the right route, that does not lead into a starfield cul the sack.
Frankly - had I not had EDDiscovery running, capturing every single jump - I suspect I would be stuck and 'lost there', until I decided to self destruct, as the place is a maze.
Anyway.. plotting my way back now (jump-by-jump) using EDDiscovery.
Will probably try and head for the 'formadine bridge' to get across to the other side, or have another go a going forwards into the rift, this time with a little more confidence (having demonstrated to myself that I can go in,and come back out again, and that the EDDiscovery tools do actually work!)
Must confess- hadn't realised how far into the maze I'd gone until I started to struggling to go forwards, and took a look back, and realised without help, there was no chance I'd be able to find my way out again...

End of the line
Also hit the end of the RR line, as far as we can get, Nothing up, down or forward.
Heading back to this side of the supposed "Rift" area to have a look. Without solving more clues pretty much scanning
now for the sake of it o7
Cant upload phots, stupid forum says Jpg invalid files

Think there's an issue server side - seen several people saying the same.
Delmonte - I see from the galactic map (in game) you're 1/2 way to the next galaxy ;-) [seriously impessive!] on the outside of the spiral arm - have you tried heading 'inwards' from the arm into the rift? (I am heading 'out' into the rift - have decided to try a second attempt) - would be interesting to see if we can meet in the middle

Galmap screen shot for prosperity-...
Me (BlackChimaera - c1/4-13=/3 into the rift
Qianas T. Geeq running alongside the edge of the rift
Rudolphus in the outer arm
And Delmonte WAY out beyond the outer arm on the RR line

Thank you 
Yep that's the plan, heading to the "South" side of the rift, poke around there for a while. o7

Nothing only 2 blackhole's and when you visit be sure to throttle down to zero otherwise it will be the end of your journey
Heading out to Bovomit something tell me.... it must be in that region
I start also to think about to enter Bovomit something is required could that be you must have done the Dark Wheel missions first?

Be careful of the Sirens call, you're all being lead into the rocks.
I saw a bright blue-white light in a CNB zone just now. I thought I'd investigate later, and by the time I killed the NPC I was chasing, the light was gone, so no screenshot... better luck next time.
They're coming.
With former President Halsey coming out of a coma soon, very closerly mirroring one of the two instances that caused Imperial ships to go on sale, I think it's well worth considering the possibility that if Fed ships don't go on sale, there were meta-game reasons for the multiple Imperial rankless offers: that is, that we should be investigating the Rift in Clippers.
Interesting idea. Maybe something specific about Clippers, Warp signature or something along those lines ........
But if rank isn't needed and someone playing the original release could find it then needing a Clipper doesn't make sense. Although I wasn't playing back then so if rank wasn't needed at first as you were. I know rank got removed for a period (that's why I've got one!).
Im at Bovomit, in between lay systems called Syroida HJ-D B18-0 and so on, only on a lower Z axis then Bovomit have these systems being visit.

I was also thinking of that going back and take my clipper and do the journey again

Also bear in mind that the Clipper wasn't in the game till much more recently.
