Mapping is essential to coordinate | Mapping is essential to coordinate EVE University communities' scanning and exploration and is vital for [[Wormhole Community]] to ensure they have full knowledge of nearby wormholes. EVE University hosts a private Pathfinder for its members and was [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=218&t=114996 introduced] in November 2019 as a replacement for our old [https://github.com/evewspace/eve-wspace EVE-Wspace] tool. | ||
