With the new map, its a pain to select your probe set to move it, and the circle cursor makes it pretty easy to just grab an arrow instead of a face.

If they just rendered the arrows in 3d so they dont vanish if you are moving your camera around to get a different perspective...

Wont SOLVE the problem, but it would help.

Also to get a bit more into detail, I've had problems moving the initial probes off of the star.

Yes please, current map is pretty to look at and it does give a better sense of the shape of the EvE universe but as a tool to scan with it is horrible.

Confirming scanning is horrible compared to the old map.

Please just make it as the old one was, please Sad

You have a hotkey to open one map and a hotkey to open the other. Keep old map as the scanning map and everything is good.

Well yes, but the old map is on the way out the door. At this rate I'll be using it into the end.

Please fix scanning on the new map, or at least keep the old one. This has been said a thousand times over and has fallen on deaf ears.

Here's to hoping that the new map isn't the new stealthy way of buffing exploration (because only madmen will probe with the new UI, loot prices will go up :D)

This is the one thing that needs to be abandoned. Both maps need to be kept forever unless the scanning functionality of the old is replicated 100% in the new. Even then there's annoying quirks in the new map like with zooming and stuff.

Perhaps give us map tabs, pretty one for colour coded stats etc and a simplified points of interest only (i.e. current style) map for scanning.

Went back to the new map for a while... omg, it's not even just the cursor, I see the zoom and movement inertia are still there, even after devs said they'd tone it down.

It's barely acceptable for occasional probe scanning (as long as you don't try to make a living by scanning anoms, but why would those weird explorer types use the map, right? Roll), and totally useless for dscan, as the inertia doesn't let you fine-tune the camera position.
