The largest fault of Map Beta is generally considered to be its cluttered appearance.<ref>http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/a-map-to-treasure/</ref> Even in two-dimensional "abstract mode", it is difficult to quickly see paths from one system to another. One approach to solving this problem can be found at the [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map DOTLAN] mapping site.

One approach to solving this problem can be found at the [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map DOTLAN] mapping site.

DOTLAN contains more or less the same information found in Map Beta, but in a two-dimensional, rather stark layout that makes it easy to see how the systems connect to one another. The EVE universe is presented as a collection of region maps (''along with some specialized combination maps''). You cannot see everything at once ... however, you can quickly figure out a path from one system to another within the same region.
