This event is evolving rapidly, and we could really use someone who has explored to write a description and submit photographs. Any takers?
I noticed that there are now some route names on the 3Dmap in EDDiscovery, but can't seem to figure out how to actually show the routes themselves there. How do we see them?

Second star, if it's on the right, you might have something...
I'm not sure how to do it in EDDiscovery, but on EDSM it can be a little tricky bringing up the route info on the maps. There's a simple guide to it however, posted under the heading : The map also includes famous and historical expeditionary routes :

Thank you Peter
Important Map Update Incoming
Fellow explorers,
we are currently working on implementing several new categories for points of interest (POI). This is meant to ease classification of deep sky and surface objects while also providing more clarity on the feature and distinguish it from others.
The first change will be the implementation of the "Regional Feature" POI. Regional Features are those phenomena that include several solar systems or a specific stretch of space, without being a star cluster or a nebula (as these are very well defined entities).
Further changes are the surface features. As we receive more and more entries, we decided to split those surface features into three separate categories:
- Geyser/Fumarole
- Organic Feature
- Geological Feature
As we implement these, we will also edit and update existing entries and when doing general updates include a short write-up about what POIs we changed.
Thanks for all your hard and tireless work and happy hunting!
The GMP Team
-----------------------------------------------------
Current Status:
- Regional Features: Implemented, currently updating...
- Surface Features: Work in progress...
-----------------------------------------------------
**It may be possible to transverse the area at a lower galactic plane, so maybe it's not impassible, I just found a possible route through it at a lower level. So maybe this isn't a good addition. I just can't delete the post, but see for yourself and see what you think***
(EXPLORATION HAZARD)
NAME:
The Seas of Sorrow
GAME MAP SEARCH REF:
Starts around Galactic corrdinates (-29000, 47000) to (-27000, 47000) and extending down to around most portions of (-29000, 45000), -(28000, 45000) and seems to include all portions of (-29000, 46000) to(-27000, 46000). The spot where I ran out of scoopable stars was around WRUEGNU ES-Z C1-0
DESCRIPTION:
There is a large void along the borders of the Abyssal Plain and Mare Desperationis where not only scoopable stars cease to exist in practically any quantity, no other types of stars exist in this zone either. There is a few scattered scoopable stars which far exceed any current engineered FSD range, and even using Jumponium it would proove to be extremely difficult, even next to impossible to pass through this zone.
The distance from North to South is about 8,7000 LY and almost double that going East to West along the galactic plane. Most travellers should make note of path exploration tracks around this zone to ensure a safe passage around this area. However, it may become of interest to some ships with extreme long range engineered FSD and using FSD boots to explore this vast realm of nothingness.
The name Sea of Sorrow is from the vantage point of being able to view across the darkness of this area to see the hope on the other side, without the means to ever reach it going forward.

Update - For Eor Aoc NN-T e3-1114/ Eor Aoc Nebula
Descripton Update: The Eor Aoc Nebula is the most Western nebula of the Gallipolis, which makes it a great place to view the other Gallipolis nebula in the area, all of which are to your East. The abundance of young B class and T Tauri stars in and around the nebula may also tell us about the active star forming in the sector.
Screenshot: I have a properly sized screenshot but I can't upload it. Here is the stock unchanged photo from a URL

This is a shame [knocked out]
We generally don't take exploration hazards as POIs any more, but we'll consider this. However this looks to be more appropriate as a sub-region. Also, it's not clear to me; are there stars otherwise surrounding this entire void? Or is it bordering the galactic void?
POI
POI name: The two swords of Damocles
POI type: Planetery feature
Galmap Ref: KYLOASLY DA-A F69 2
Desc: What makes this black hole system remarkable is it's second planet wich is a gasgiant with a couple of realy close orbiting moons. The B and C moons orbit so close to each other that they are on a collision course with the other.
How the system stayed so long stable is not known, neither is known when the collision will happen so explorers who want to witness it need patience or a considerable amount of luck.
Also it should be noted that landings are dangerous as there is a possibility of being crushed between two planetary bodies and due to the komplicated gravitational effects that are in place the ships speed does not always match the orbital speed of the planets when exiting supercruise.

Cyoidai GH-U Supernova Remnant
POI Type: Planetary Nebula
System Ref.: Cyoidai GH-U e3-3
Description: The Cyoidai GH-U SNR takes the form of a vividly coloured planetary nebula, very much like the iris of an eye. It has a central black hole of 2.6 solar masses and a multitude of celestial bodies in its core system, some of which are landable. The system lies just some 600 light years 'above' the Crab Pulsar.
First discovery goes to CMDR Interceptor XTF
Please see attached screenshots:

Serebrov Beacon
POI Type: Beacon System
System Ref.: Dryaa Phoe WV-C d0
Description: Serebrov Beacon is a remote star system along the 'zero meridian' in the galactic coordinate system. With a distance of 9,994 light years from Sol it lies along the 0 ; -10,000 line, placing it at the border of the Perseus Fade and the Formidine Rift as well as on the constellation border between Taurus and Aurigae. The system is quite remote and reachable only with a dedicated, engineered exploration vessel using Jumponium.
The Beacon was lit during the Monoceros Mission of the Children of Raxxla in June 3303, although several planetside pieces of wreckage (including a Nav Beacon!) indicated prior attempts to chart this compass rose system.
The system was named after Alesandr Serebrov, a 20th century Russian cosmonaut who was also involved in engineering the first generation of Mir space stations. He also held the record for having conducted the most 'space walks' for a long time.
Please see attached screenshots:
Additional comment: The system has nearly all components necessary for Jumponium synthesis, except Polonium.

Groerld Association
POI Type: Cluster
System Ref.: Groerld IL-P d5-0
Description: The Groerld Association is a group of young luminous stars in the otherwise sparsely populated Perseus Fade, near the shores of the Outer Arm. Its members are between one and two billion years old and still relatively close together. Current theory is that the Association may be the core of a once bigger star cluster, whose low mass stars segregated and went into the near spiral arm's stellar stream. The higher mass stars remain in their tight configuration, because there doesn't seem to be enough gravitational and tidal forces around to pull them apart. It is speculated that the Association will thus continue to exist for considerably long time.
The Association was mapped and surveyed during the Children of Raxxla's Monoceros Mission in June 3303.

Serebrov Passage
POI Type: Minor Route/Crossing
System Ref.: Dryaa Phoe PF-L d9-0
Description: The Serebrov Crossing is a Jumponium heavy traverse across the Perseus Fade along the borders of the constellations of Taurus and Auriga (and hence the Fade and the Formidine Rift). It lies more or less along the Zero Meridian and contains some hard to reach systems. It is generally assumed that only dedicated, engineered exploration vessels with a good supply of Jumponium can successfully navigate the passage as jumps of 70, 80 or more light years are not uncommon.
Serebrov Crossing was mapped during the Monoceros Mission of the Children of Raxxla in June 3303 and is named after the 20th century Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Serebrov, who - among other laurels - long held the record of having done the most spacewalks and having accumulated a total count of more than 370 space days, an enormous amount at that time.
The passage also holds a "Green System" by Rock Rat standards, meaning it contains all elements necessary to synthesize all levels of FSD injections.
The system is Dryaa Phoe HI-Z d1-0
A full route description can be found HERE.

Yeah it was a dark region as seen on the Galactic Map, and was having a hard time finding a route through the entire zone. So it should be a new region suggestion not an actual POI. However I think there are possible routes lower down in the plane that I missed when I was trying to transverse it, but still uncertain if it can be easily crossed at all. I just didn't have time to really look through it. So I was just going to delete the post, but wasn't able to...
