===The Eve map ~~- what it is~~, the ~~various settings~~ and avoidance ~~tabs~~, including ~~safest~~, ~~quickest~~ and ~~dangerous~~. ~~How~~ to find ~~info about~~ systems with ~~the~~ map and ~~Dotlan===~~

===The Eve map ===

To adjust our route, click the A on the left. You can prefer safest (the best when you're new), shortest and less secure. Also you can avoid systems, and remvoe them from the avoidance list. In war times, it's not the worst idea to add trade hub systems to the avoidance, as the war targets WILL be looking for you there especially.

The Evemap (F10) shows the current system layout, including gates, planets, moons, bookmarks, and scan results. Scanning is outside of this class, but http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Scanning_%26_Probing is a good starter.

We use the map to get an idea of the local area. What we can see on d-scan, if there's a gate nearby, etc. As a scout, you'll learn how to best utilise it to get your information.

Click on Star Map. This shows the Eve Galaxy. Here, we can find out what systems are in this region, how busy (podkills, ship kills, jumps in and out) the systems are with a heatmap and our route. Dotlan gets it's information from here, and it's a little easy to alt-tab use, so we'll discuss it mroe.

http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Metropolis

You've probably heard Aldrat described as a pocket system. Why is that? Find another one and the entry system.

If http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Hadozeko was on our route, what could we expect? NPCs don't pod, so that's a good indicator that there is activity here.

===Scouting - Dotlan for map and info. Probing and checking beacons, stations and belts===
