Where are the Geology-Biology sites in Odyssey???? Same Planet in horizons has 17 Geology sites.

And you can reference heatmap generated by DSS to find hotspots.
When you DSS the planet it gives you a filter and a blue map over the planet surface. Land on any part of that planet covered by the blue map and you can then jump in the SRV and start searching. It usually does not take long to find something.
The Geological features can be very easy to spot - especially is lava vents are around. You can see little pimples on the surface. Head down to those and you are sure to find them. They are not clustered unrealistically in little pockets like in Horizons. In Odyssey they are scattered throughout the surface.
Biologicals you must use Mark 1 eyeball whilst in your Rover. They don't always appear quickly when flying, but they are very easy to spot.
Geos can be found using your wave scanner as they consistently spawn L1 mats, usually of one type per planet. They are mostly dormant, but stick around and they transition to active when driving around. Stay away from the active lava vents if you don't like rebuys!

Ok, so they have taken screen shot 3 and removed all points of interest markers and now you have to land and drive around for an hour to find engineering mats and then take an hour to collect them? As if engineering mat collection already wasn't a pain in the arss. I thought that it got accidently broken like other things with Odyssey like invisible
boulders that you total your SRV on, I didn't realize it was intentional. I was well over 10kly out in hawking's gap working on trying to get Elite Explorer when odyssey dropped, since then I have only accidently found Geo and Bio sites while checking out all the irregular markers that seem to have replaced them. I got so frustrated from running out of mats for repairs that I gave up and turned around and just honked every stop on the way back. Needless to say I am 15% from getting Elite, and that number isn't getting any smaller since odyssey, because i'm still searching. I think a mining ship and fighting pirates would be less time invested.
But thanks for the info, I'll give it a try, But I still cannot see visibly what the filters are supposed to do. nothing changes to my eyes

Geologicals end up being all in the same space - so the map will not change. Biologicals sometimes group together but not always, but that is when the filter works.

Yes - we are at the same point we were when Horizon launched and before they added the POI for geological/biologicals. You drive around looking for Meteorites and Bronzite Whatisfaceite.
Geo and Bio are very easy to find. No need to drive for hrs. You can spot them with a fly by over hotspots after DSS scan. After you do DSS scan stay in Analysis Mode, your planet will show Blue spots on the planet, those are hotspots.
Sometimes it's harder to find them than other times, but there's a load of them and they're a lot more naturally scattered over a surface rather than only being in an area the size of a car park in Colchester.
Have they acknowledged if every type of shootable thing at Geo's giving only one type of mat is a bug or not? I have to imagine it is but the silence on it is making me question that.
This blue is the hot spot? right?
Gotcha.
I think Ill use this method...

The crystals were not appearing. They fixed that. It still only gives the one mat type.
