when going from the system map to the galaxy map...

Yesterday, I was mining in a nice quiet pristine ice ring and I decided to try to get back there but I did not take a note of where it was, so I decided to try to look through the galaxy map/system maps to find it so I could head back and continue to do some more mining.

After two separate attempts with a night's sleep in-between, I've grown to realize that it's not me.... it's you.

Flipping back and forth between the galaxy map and system map while trying to search for something manually is a terrible experience because the center of the galaxy map always snaps back to a system that is one node away from my current position, (I tried this both with a route plotted and without a route plotted) so the process of making a systematic search means I am dragging the galmap view through the same region of the map over and over and over again, which I ain't doing. I'm giving up my frustrating search for that ring and I am going to look for another one.

When I press Back while in a system map, the galaxy map should be pointed at the system I was looking at, not on some other system that is irrelevant to my interests. This should be simple, I hope.

Set the gal map to visited stars, follow your last route out there, job done. And yes I agree the gal map is a pain to use, many of your points are valid complaints.
 
I was looking through visited stars, but I've visited quite a few. And for following my last route, it was far too late for that. I was switching back and forth between mining and Aisling's CG for the past few days. Good tip to keep in mind, though.

P.S. Complaint is a strong word. This is merely a verbose feature request that may be unnecessary depending on what goodies they have in mind for the mining revamp.
