The Galactic Map is a feature in No Man's Sky universe where the player can explore and discover star systems across the vast universe. It is available when the player is in space in their starship or by using the Freighter Warp Map on the freighter's bridge.

Visited systems are interconnected with faint grey lines and are marked with a white dot with a circle around it.

At the top of the Galactic Map screen there are two options available, Destination and Filter.

🌌Destination

It shows the distance in light-years for the current destination.

Black Hole (N/A if none selected on the map)
Atlas Station (N/A if The Atlas Path is completed)
Current Mission (N/A if an open ended mission selected, like New Beginnings)
