Though the same info is available for objects in your overview, the overlay can be useful when doing missions, ratting or whatnot because it will show you the xyz location in space. For example, two ships 50km from you may be together, 100km apart on either side of you, or any orientation that would land them on the surface of a 50km radius sphere. | Though the same info is available for objects in your overview, the overlay can be useful when doing missions, ratting or whatnot because it will show you the xyz location in space.

Also, the overlay will display perpendiculars to the ship's XY-plane. This can be useful to see which objects are above or below the ship. | Also, the overlay will display perpendiculars to the ship's XY-plane.
