Ive seen other threads like this I would like to start a new. This is my first whine thread and I dont like cheese.
The new map:
+ Graphics
+ New features, staions etc easely navigated now.
- Orientation, why isnt my POV saved each time I load the map. Why is the map aligned sideways when opening it?
- It seems it requiers a powerfull computer to run smoothly. I can play halflife 2 on this comp without problems but I cant navigate EvE world map without clicking wrong systems and loose my orientation cause my mouse "laggs" so badly.
- The system map is gone from scanner window. Again I loose my orientation, Yes I think its good that I know where the planets are and related to each other. No I dont have time to press F10 to wait for nice graphic map to load when Im about to scan ppl to kill. F11 works but it also gives you a nice galaxy map and a so usuable constellation map \o/ and it takes 1/4 of the screen.
- Generally harder to make out how the world map is. Smaller dots, smaller lines. You would think it would make it easier but for some reason it gets my head spinning.
The improovements are ok. Especially the new features but IMO its not worth the cost. If devs would consider brining old map back atleast as an option I would for one be really happy. EvE always was easely navigated despite beeing a world in 3d, it isnt anymore.

Aye the flattening thing aswell.
And that reminds me of another -
The map rotates back and forth when closing it. Skip this animation plz, just make it close instantly.

I love the new map but then again my computer aint 5 years old :P
I think its stuipid to implent something that put a strain on computers that this game originally was designed to work for. All other aspects of EvE work excellent for me at best graphics. Must be one of the first games ever where its actually the map the puts the strain on the computer not the everyday battles, exploisions etc.

YOU CAN TURN THE ANIMATIONS OFF, PEOPLE. LEARN HOW TO USE IT BEFORE YOU WHINE ABOUT IT. Thank you. 
Hmmm I look at my settings just now and its defenently turned off. Still the map goes "zoomgshh" rotates right "swwooooosh" makes a 180 degree flip and after a couple of seconds "snip" closes after pressing the F10 button.
TBH I think the map is so bad navigating that I never use it anymore to get an idea of my surroundings. I just roam the systems I know by typing in destination and go there with waypoints help.
I am convinced it will improve cause it cannot stay like this. But I still want the option of using the old map.
edit: spelling
edit 2: A Linky for you Darcie

I'm sorry but I profusely disagree. If you desire to remain a part of the MMO community, then you need to keep upgrading your computer to match the times.
Would you bring a Model-T racer to a modern auto racing event? No. Then why would you complain when your out of date computer cannot process a modern game?
My upgraded and modern computer opens the new map perfectly and while I see no practical purpose in having a map that zooms in on my ship, it DOES give me a feeling of how massive EVE is and I love it.

I think it is stuipid that this map takes more power from the computer, or runs more unsmoothly then halflife 2 does. This is an entity with dots texts and lines. Halflife 2 is running a comples physics system and everything. Halflife 2 graphics is a good example on how to do, and so is EvE which have good grphics for its age. But the new map... it feels more unoptimized then a alfa version of some 3d fps shooting game.
Im talking about the universe map. I would like to have the old scanner map back in the window also though.
