Tool to help find waypoints for long routes

[disorganise]

Using it now to get back to the fleet having used it to back to the bubble. Works great
By definition of course it uses systems that have been visited so I'm using it as a guide and then picking a system next door. But it saves a massive amount of time jiggling around the Gal map.

Thanks for letting me know

At one point I worried about my 1000ly waypoints already being discovered in game and in EDSM, then I decided not to worry about it so much. Every time I test, I discover a ton of systems along my route that I am first discoverer for in both EDSM and game. If that one system at the end of the route is a known, at least that means I don't need to worry about trilaterating that one

...So I've created a tool that can do it. You enter your start and end systems, the distance you want between waypoints, and how much off course you'll let the route go. The tool searches the EDSM data for your start and end systems and uses one of two different methods to find waypoints for your trip....

Wow, what a nice tool. This will really help, so tons of thanks for creating it. +1 rep for you Sir.
