==Types of Scanning==

Every ship in Eve comes with an on-board [[~~Directional Scanner|Solar System Map~~ with Directional Scanner]] ~~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~~]].

Every ship in Eve comes with an on-board [[Overview]] function 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 also comes with an on-board [[Directional Scanner]] (d-scan) 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.

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

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.
