===Overview, Map and Directional Scan===
==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.

In addition, each ship has a [[Directional Scanner|Solar System Map]] that displays the overview and directional scanning data in graphic form.

===Survey Scanning===
==Survey Scanning==
Asteroid miners may use [[Mining#Survey_scanner|survey scanners]] to measure distances to various asteroids and to monitor the volume of these as they are mined. Moon miners may use specialized [[Moon_mining#Equipment|survey probes]] which investigate a solar system and return the ore name, the quantity, the TypeID, and the ID's for the Solar System, Planet and Moon.

===Probe Scanning===
==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. In addition, probes provide distance and coordinate information.
