=== Highsec Exit Selection ===

One of the most important parts of your planning is selecting a highsec exit. [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/jump|DOTLAN Jump Planner] is a nice tool for routing purposes, but it will not choose a decent highsec exit system. This will have to be done through your own investigation, for which you can subsequently add as a waypoint into the jump planner. However, other functions on DOTLAN are beneficial for the purposes of selecting a highsec exit.

However, other functions on DOTLAN are beneficial for the purposes of selecting a highsec exit.

Before you begin to make a selection of systems, you should also become familiar with the general topography between your origin and destination, particularly around the highsec / lowsec boundaries while optimizing for distance. A mix between the DOTLAN map and the in-game map may be most useful for getting a sense of system orientation for this specific purpose.

The [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/range|range tool on DOTLAN] is helpful to finding highsec exits near a specific highsec system, but they may not be in the direction of your travel. Once you select a set of candidate highsec exits, there are some characteristics you should evaluate for each candidate:
