How big is a grid square?
Specifically, goal of asking is: say I know I will lag going to a gate or a moon. How far out do I need to have a staging safespot to warp to first?
Is there much variation? Like, 10000km out will work sometimes, but other spots need 1000km out?
I know overview normally stops around 300km, so I think a grid square is bigger than this, but I'm not sure how much bigger.
Thanks in advance!

I think grids are somewhere between 500km and 1000km across. However, note that you can be near the edge of a grid and thus not see someone 100km from you, for example.

Keep in mind 3 dimensions as well, and I think that grid "cubes" aren't as high as they are long and wide.

Hm. Sounds like there is no good way to figure out in advance how far to warp in for staging.
Is there some way to tell if I am on the same grid square as something else which isn't on my overview? Like maybe if distance shows up on the scanner, I'm on-grid?

Roughly about 500km to 2500km.

drop a can fly away from it, Once it disappears from overview, go back and drop another can, fly away but keeping all dropped cans in view, repeat...

I was wrong, I attempted what I posted afterwards and It seems the grid loads dependant on objects in it, thats the reason the size seems so indetermint..
