***A thick, dashed outline indicates the system has been selected by the viewer.

*Interconnecting lines on the map show gates and wormholes.

High-/low-null-sec gates are labeled "GATE" in each direction.

:High-/low-null-sec gates are labeled "GATE" in each direction.

Each wormhole connection is labeled with its characteristic XNNN type, facing the direction that the label appears. (This label is visible in the Overview or in space, on the wormhole.)

:(Link the class to the Wormhole Portal page on wormhole types.)

Note: Every wormhole has one side marked “K162”, regardless of type. If you “Show Info” on a wormhole, and it displays WH Type K162, you will have to pass through the wormhole to see the type marking on the other side.

**White lines show wormholes that admit only small ships.

To find out this information on a given wormhole, in space, right-click on the wormhole, and select “Show info”. The text in the Infobox will tell you about the wormhole lifetime and mass limits. (Link to Wormhole portal page on wormhole characterization from Infobox text.)

Mouseover systems and connections to see pop-up boxes that contain more info.

===Getting detailed system information===

Click on a system oval, and scroll down, to see detailed system info. (The selected system will be indicated by a thick, dashed yellow border.)

Set destination: For high-/low-/null-sec systems, in the System Details window, click a blue box to set your destination to selected system, or to another, common E-UNI system.

Signatures: Click the Signatures button to see if anyone has previously identified the unknown signatures in your system.

Mouseover signature entries to see who entered them, and how long ago.

===Adding a new system to the Mapper===

To enter a new connection to a new system:

* If the connection is a wormhole, scan down the wormhole signature, warp to it (preferably at a distance, cloaked, if you are in w-space).

* Right-click to Show Info. Note the Signature ID, the wormhole type (XNNN), and any relevant wormhole info (EOL? shrink?).

* With the Mapper open in the in-game browser, enter the new system. (The browser can be minimized, but it must be open.)

* A pop-up window appears in the browser. Enter:

* Friendly Name: For wormholes, the three letters of the wormhole signature you scanned in previous system.

* Wormhole Status, Type: Click the appropriate radio buttons.

* And then click “Add System”.

If your connection was a gate instead of a wormhole, you will need to modify your entry later. I'll show you how to do that in a moment.

And now your new system appears on the map. Mapper data is uploaded to the server, and exchanged with other users, in real time. As soon as you create a system in the map, all other users can see it.
