Over the last couple years I ran this idea by several people and they liked it and wanted me to post it here on the forums. Finally I have some time I am willing to spend laying it out visually. The concept here is to streamline what we already have at our disposal. Reconfiguring so that information we want is closer together and as few as clicks away as possible.
If you are a little confused about what each section does, please read the description. Video may follow if it is still confusing.
the concept
(flag icon) ôCommon Destinationsö
This basically takes places you have in your bookmarks and makes them easily accessible. Ideally users would setup their own groups, call them what they want and have as many drop downs as they want.
(planet arrow icon) ôCurrent Routeö
This combines the information we have on the left with the information we can get from going to the star map.
(four bars icon) ô_____ Solar Systemö
Taking the only useful info from the map browser and moving it here.
(gradient outline ball icon) ôProximityö
Focusing on the system you are in, gives you information about the system you are heading to and some additional information about adjacent systems.
Why?
ôCommon Destinationsö - Right people either use the note pad or their assets window for common destinations. I've even setup specific chat channels for common way points. Using the systems in place now works, but being able to click drag destinations into a navigation specific window would be ACE in my book.
ôCurrent Routeö - If you have several systems to stop in, unless you are on autopilot you may skip right over them because the info on the left of our screens does not say when to stop. The best way to see the info is in the map/autopilot/way points tab. Even though you have your overview available, you can not see the space around you, and getting the sense of what is around you is even worse if you have a 'travel' overview setting. Merging the map/autopilot/way points tab with the standard ôautopilotö (navigation) info on the left into a specific tab would improve the clumsy feel we have now of getting that same information.
ôProximityö - All to often you have to find an alternate route. Sometimes you have to find it quickly and fumbling around menus is extremely frustrating. It is information that we already have it is just extremely difficult to get it all at once. The proximity window solves this. It gets most pilots who would need a navigation tab the info they want. |

This is most excellent. Thanks you for taking the time to make a spiffy UI mockup. I can see this going places 
Can I take out a box off the panel? Since you plan to remove the route stuff on the left, ItÆd be nice to let me take out the Current Route panel and place it somewhere I like. Also, wouldnÆt the optimize and clear waypoints button be better placed within the Current Route panel? |

Being able to right-click systems in the route easily would be huge. FCs could set end destination, and right click "broadcast destination" on systems along the way much more easily. Potentially, the FC could see how many fleet members are in each system of the route. Being able to interact with the route more easily like that dramatically opens up all sorts of things that would be useful.

Agreed this is a nice proposition for the CSM, there is the proximity feature that is on itself a nice thing but will eliminate the scouts for a part and make things a bit easier in eve which is a good or a bad thing. Depends how u look at it.

Very good start!
Would also be usefull to have a mini map section showing your AP route a couple of jumps ahead (and some bordering systems, maybe 2-deep) with the 'statistics' options from the main f10 starmap.

That is a smashing idea.
Just need to remember a panel with the solar system map so I can see where my dscanner is pointing.

I like this idea my self, and give it my suport, as noted would still need to maintain a solor system frame some where.
Also a sugestion, as was said, traveling and keeping tabs on your set way points is a pain, in the travel info on left side, we se all our stops represented with dots, coler coded to system security, how about puting a circle arond any system with a way point, then at a glance you can se where there set in your rout.

Hey I am allowed to give support to my own idea! XD
Solar System map: If you guys take a second look at the image, it is still there, just collapsed as I did not feel it needed to be demonstrated.
If you notice the systems that are displayed in bold letters in the 'current route' section, those are the current way points. I do like the circle around the dots idea though.
Thanks everyone for the support and feedback.
