I'm sure many players before me, have already mentioned the issues/problems, they have with the new changes, i'm about to post, but i'd still like to give my feedback on this, just to show, there are more players out there, with the same opinion:
- Tooltips covering your Probes in the Scanning Map:
This is the thing, that bothers me the most. It would be great, if the cube and arrows of your probes would be "always on top". If i have to scan signatures, i don't want to be tooltips in the way. Yes, i can turn off markers in the filter settings, but i can't turn off all of it. I'd still like to see at least planets,stations and gates. And signatures are located near those celestials most of the time. And the advice to increase the tooltip delay is not really feasible, because this is a global setting. I don't have any problems with other tooltips in the game, just with those in the scanning map.
- D-Scan Indicator in Scanning Map:
Please give it a different colour from Sigs. Or add a toggle to make it invisible.
- Resizing Probe Scan Range:
It's more difficult in the new map, to grab the edges of the probes and resize them that way. Yes, i'm aware we can use the mousewheel/shortcuts for this, but i think many players, me included, would prefer to be able to this only with the mouse (for the mousewheel you still have to press ALT) Increasing the hitbox of the edges would help a lot.
Furthermore, one thing i would have always liked to see implemented: A visual feedback, if the cursor is over the edge of a sphere, when you try to resize them. For example, make the sphere more transparent and the edges highlighted. This would avoid the hassle, when you try to resize the probes respectively move the camera and you don't know, if your cursor is hitting an edge of a sphere or not.
- Missing Checkbox for "Show Anomalies"
In the old system, you could quickly update the distances to anomlies while in warp by unchecking/checking that checkbox. Now you have to go in the filter dropdown list. This is pretty inconvenient. (Perhaps it would be possible to automatically update the distances to anomalies during warp or when you change your position in the solar system?)
- Green Underlines in Anomalies/Signature List:
Please, change that back to the solid green background. This new look is just more difficult to read and understand when you glance through it.
That's it for now. (And, as it is, i think poor CCP Goliath has already enough to read  )
