The Galactic Mapping team are proud to present the Regional Galactic Map for the Elite Dangerous community.
The regional maps have been a work in progress since the mapping project began back in February 2015. Little by little, as explorers and pioneers traversed the depths of space, they submitted data of their travels to the mapping project to help gradually build up a picture of the galaxy, and over time these player-submitted regions were pieced together.
This week saw the final few pieces of the galactic jigsaw put in place. There are now 55 regions and 9 major galactic arms all mapped out and presented on a high definition map for explorers, chroniclers, and storytellers to use in their journey through the gameworld.

Please note that from the outset this project was community driven and the maps, regions, and points of interest it contains, are not officially sanctioned FD names... although some have become adopted by FD over the past 18 months - most notably Beagle Point, Rendezvous Point, Colonia, and lately Hawking's Gap and the Sagittarrii Conflux.
