===Scouting===

*The directional scanner can be used for ''fleet ~~scouting'' purposes. This could simply involve telling~~ scan results to the FC through Mumble or chat~~, but more~~ complete results can also be sent using ~~tools~~ like [https://adashboard.info/intel Dashboard].

If you are scouting for a fleet, you can pass your scan results to the FC through Mumble or chat. More complete results can also be sent using online parsers like [https://adashboard.info/intel Dashboard]. A parser will organize and check the value of your scan results and set them up to be passed on to your FC.

*The directional scanner can also be used to check gates for ''gatecamps'' without warping to the ~~gate's grid~~. ~~You will need~~ to ~~have an off~~-~~grid bookmark near the gate from which you can scan it~~.

Note: To move the entire results of a scan. Click one of the result items. Press Alt-C to copy all the results. Go to where you want to put the results and press Alt-V to paste them.

*In ~~lowsec/~~null-sec, directional ~~scan~~ can ~~also~~ be used to check for ''POSes'' at moons ~~you intend to travel to, as a defended POS can kill your ship very quickly~~.

The d-scanner can also be used to check gates for ''gatecamps'' without warping to the gate's grid. You will need to have an off-grid bookmark near the gate from which you can scan it.

In low or null-sec, directional scanning can be used to check for ''POSes'' and other interesting structures near moons.

*This [http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/scanning-and-probing-changes-in-parallax/ EVE DevBlog entry] explains the 2015 changes to the d-scan interface. (It also covers changes to probe scanning.)

*Note that as of November 2015, all YouTube videos about D-Scanning are showing the old interface, and so are out of date. You can look for new videos by searching on "EVE directional scan".
