Seriously.

When I press f11 to look at the constellation map, I want to see exactly how it connects and not this tangled black widow web of confusion.

Pay the man for his genius and use dotland maps ingame.

Even though inspired by Eve, I'm pretty sure the actual maps themselves are property of the dotlan people. If CCP replaced the F11 maps, I'm pretty sure they'd have to either pay for the maps, or pay dotlan's hosting for the increase in traffic.

Additionally, taking other people's work and incorporating it into the client sets a bad precedent. If they did it with dotlan maps, people would instantly use this as justification to demand CCP include other third party work. Eve-survival, eve-cost, EFT, ellatha, the list is nearly endless.
