Where have the route options been moved to in the Galaxy Map?

Title says it all. Cannot find where to change the route options from most economic to fastest. Have hit every button visible in my UI.
 
Ugh, seriously?! Finally found it. If you've actually gotten to the point of trying to plot a route, the option is gone. You have to be at the basic Galaxy Map with nothing selected.

It's under the left menu where it's always been, you of course have to select the option "before" plotting a route, not sure what having anything selected means and what that has to do with anything, you can select a star and still access the navigation menu.
 
There's a procedural oversight in route plotting.
If you've set a route then loaded your ship so that the jumps/fuel calculations are wrong, the Recalculate route button is usefully greyed out.
You have to either cancel the route and start again or:
  • switch between the current Economical/Fast route setting,
  • click Recalculate route,
  • switch back to your original Economical/Fast selection,
  • click Recalculate route.
But you probably knew that already.
 
Almost seems like the aim of the UI redesign in Odyssey was to make everything harder to find / use. I was doing the Christmas present deliveries yesterday and (having not played in a while) find the UI so counter intuitive as to be annoying.
