Editing Directional Scanner and Overview (section)

===Screen Layout===
You will need to figure out for yourself what layout of your controls and game windows works best for you.  This is a highly individualized thing, and it depends if you are using one or more screens.  Also, what works for exploring may be useless if you are also going to do other things.  It seems that the D-Scan and Overview is the same for all characters in an Eve account.  It's all about what works for '''YOU'''.  

If you are still at the stage where you are trying to determine where everything should be on your screen, one preference is to have most of the essential informational windows on the right side of the screen.  Please see image below.

Starting on the top is the probe results window (unlocked from the map).  Just below it is the local chat window so that you always know how many other pilots are in the same system.  Generally, the more pilots there are, the riskier.  Of course, in wormhole space (also called J-space) you never know for sure.  Below that is the D-Scan results window (also unlocked from the map).  Below that is the overview window and finally, at the very bottom is the selected item window.  

Take a moment now to arrange your window controls to your own preference.  As an explorer, your probe scanner, d-scanner and overview windows will be used very frequently, and it makes sense to have them visible at all times.  Of note, the Local Chat window does not need to be very big.  You can configure it (the gear in the upper left corner and the icon immediately next to it) to list names without pictures.  Corp chat can be kept separate in the lower left corner or elsewhere.

We will review the D-Scanner first followed by the Overview.
