The E-UNI instructions for setting up your "in space" overview display are detailed and complete. The process takes about half an hour. When you are done, the "PVP TRAVEL" tab will show you any dangerous ships within range. And, the other tabs will do useful things that you haven't thought about yet.

WTs show up in your "PVP Travel" display as blinking red light. If you see a blinking red light, hide. If you can't hide, run and then hide.
