== Overview, Map and Directional Scan ==

Every ship in EVE comes with an ~~on-board~~ [[Overview]] window that can be configured to show planets, asteroid belts, moons, stations, and other useful objects in the current system. As it is difficult to play EVE without this information~~, a thorough study of the Overview is highly recommended~~.

Every ship in EVE comes with an onboard [[Overview]] window that can be configured to show planets, asteroid belts, moons, stations, and other useful objects in the current system. A thorough study of the Overview is highly recommended because it is difficult to play EVE without this information.

Every ship in EVE also comes with an ~~on-board~~ [[Directional Scanner]] (D-scan) that can be used to discover, but not pinpoint via distance or coordinates, objects up to 14 AU away from the ship.

Every ship in EVE also comes with an onboard [[Directional Scanner]] (D-scan) that can be used to discover, but not pinpoint via distance or coordinates, objects up to 14 AU away from the ship.

This equipment can be used to search for [[Cosmic Anomalies]] (including ice belts and gas clouds) and other objects not found on the Overview.

== Survey Scanning ==

Asteroid and ice miners may use [[Mining#Survey_scanner|survey scanners]] to measure distances to various targets and to monitor ~~the~~ volume ~~of these~~ as they are mined. Survey scanners typically measure resource type, quantity and distance. They have a maximum range of 15 km (23 km with T2), and they occupy a mid-level fitting slot.

Survey scanners typically measure resource type, quantity and distance. They have a maximum range of 15 km (23 km with T2), and they occupy a mid-level fitting slot.

While the range of a scanner is small, the scanned asteroids stay in the menu if the scanner is run again at a different point within the same grid. Therefore, it is possible to get the contents of the entire belt/anomaly by scanning it multiple times at ~~diefferent~~ spots without closing the survey scanner window.

== Probe Scanning ==

Every ship in EVE ~~with the exception of~~ shuttles and freighters can fit a Scan Probe Launcher module. These launch probes that increase the number of types of objects that can be detected and the range at which they can be scanned. Such probes provide distance and coordinate information. A probe launcher will take up a high fitting slot.

A probe launcher will take up a high fitting slot.

A probe launcher can launch various types of probes:
