just a few tips,
-remove as many things from overview as possible (you dont need to see things like veldspar when you scan) and select the use overview settings on your scanner.
-the max scan limit is equal to about 14au's
-when you first scan use 360 degrees then narrow down from there. it helps if your ship is level with the target overlay when using lower scan angles.
for practice, have a corpmate drop a shuttle or a newb ship off in a safespot somewhere and try to find it. scanning exercises can be boring but it will be well worth it.

There is nothing you're "supposed" to put there--if you don't know what range you need on your scanner to find what you're looking for, why are you using the scanner? -- Proud member of the [23].

Basically, you point the scanner at something, choose a low angle (so nothing else shows up), and choose a range long enough to get everything at the location up on your scanner. -- Proud member of the [23].

do like me
look up on google how much km 1 au exactly is. Then make a list (ingame with the notes) staring like this: 1 AU = xxxxx km 2 AU = XXXXX km 3 AU = ..... and so on.
Flying as a scout you can then easily paste the numbers (in kms) you stored in the note into the scanner range. With a bit of fiddling with the direction you can pinpoint ships or fleets rather easily.
For example: The armageddon is under 2 au from me aligned with planet V. This would open up opportunities for coverts to come in and start using probes.
Sometimes people hide at moons from planets, so you warp to the planet, use a max range scan of about 1 au (most planets are under 1 au from the planet anyway). When then you have set moons to show up on overview you can easily scan every moon for ships (with the 15 degree angle). This allows you to scan for ships without even going to the moon and physically be there.
Intel is a very important factor in combat (PvP). Mastering the scanner is already a good step.
Another example is, if you find ships on scanner and you pinpoint them as being aligned between 2 warpable objects, you can warp from the first to the latter. Make a midwarp bookmark, warp to that bookmarks and check how far you are from the target. If you can come within 3 au of the target, then this helps the coverts probes a lot, as scanning first with 48 au's then 12 au's takes up quite some time. Being able to start immediately scanning with 3 au's safes time, and reduces the chance of getting "no results".
The reason I mentioned these coverts is becaue you seem to be someone who would be interested in finding and pinpoint people.
Anyway, the only way to learn the scanner is to use it constantly. And a valuable asset it is when enemies go on the run.

Another thing that can help is to add planets to your over view. So when you scan you can see them, they help narrow down where someone 'could' be.
