EVE Online route planner

EO-Map is a free EVE Online route planner that runs entirely in your browser. It plans stargate routes across all 5,485 solar systems of New Eden using the same three route preferences the in-game autopilot offers, plus hard security limits the game does not give you. There is no account, no download and nothing to install.

What the route planner does

Set an origin and a destination on the Point to Point tab, press Calculate Route, and EO-Map searches the whole gate graph and draws the result on the 3D map.

• Routing between any two of the 5,485 systems, over 13,978 directed stargate connections.
• Three route preferences, and a penalty setting deciding how strongly the preference is enforced.
• Per-band hard limits, so a route can be forbidden from entering a security band at all.
• Up to ten ordered waypoints and a per-system avoid list.
• A Route Systems window listing every hop with its region and security status.
• Route notes you can paste straight into the client.

Sub-capital travel in EVE Online is gate travel, so the default on this tab is a stargate route. Capitals, Black Ops and jump freighters are planned on the separate jump planner tab. Public Thera and Turnur connections are an opt-in on top of that default, described below.

Route preference and security limits

Route preference is the same choice the in-game autopilot offers, weighted the way the game's published route-calculation rules describe.

These are preferences, not walls: an off-preference system is still used when there is no other way. Under Advanced Options, Security penalty sets how many gate jumps one such system is worth: 10, 25, 50, or the default, which takes one only as a last resort. Nullsec counts double.

Never enter is the hard limit: tick a band and the route will not cross it even if that leaves no route at all. Origin, destination and the avoid list always win.

Bands follow true security values rather than the rounded display: highsec is 0.45 and above, shown as 0.5 and up, lowsec is anything above 0.0, and the rest is nullsec. Zarzakh is never a through-hop, because its six-hour lock forces you back out the way you came.

Waypoints, avoided systems and picking from the map

You rarely type both ends. Left-click a star to make it the origin. Right-click any star for a short menu with Set Destination, Add Waypoint and Avoid System.

• Waypoints force the route through specific systems, up to ten. Each leg is solved on its own and joined into one path, in the order you added them, with an optional nearest-neighbour reorder.
• Avoided systems are excluded from the search unless they are an endpoint of a leg, so you cannot lock yourself out of your own route.
• A system cannot be a waypoint and avoided at once. Adding it to one list removes it from the other.

Reading the result

The Route Systems window is the hop-by-hop table. Each row is one system with its region and security status, true value on hover, and from a row you can set that system as a new origin or destination or open it in Solar System View. Copy List copies the whole path.

Route Notes turns the path into paged text sized to fit the in-game note character cap, with optional extras: a legend line, a statistics summary, mail-sized pagination, and clickable stargate warp links.

Public Thera and Turnur shortcuts

A long gate route can sometimes be shortened by a public wormhole into Thera or Turnur, the two systems whose connections EvE-Scout and Signal Cartel scan and publish for everyone. That is a routing option here, not only a picture of the holes.

On the Point to Point tab, Route Intel has a checkbox labelled Use public wormholes. It is off by default. When you turn it on, the search may add currently reported public Thera and Turnur connections as temporary legs. A hole that only saves one or two gates is not used. The path still has to make sense as a trip: you scan or bookmark the signature, you fly the hole, and the connection can die while you are in transit.

EO-Map does not independently verify those reports. EvE-Scout remains the source, including the in-game public bookmark folder. This is not a map of private J-space chains, and it will not route through unreported wormholes, filaments or player jump bridges. To see the same public connections drawn on the starfield without calculating a route, open Public Wormholes from Tools Library, then Navigation.

Where the data comes from

The universe graph is built from the pinned official EVE Online Static Data Export, build 3464040: 5,485 solar systems, 13,978 directed stargate connections, 799 constellations and 70 regions. That static snapshot has no wormhole connections and no player-deployed jump bridges. Default point-to-point routing is those stargates. Public Thera and Turnur connections are the live overlay described above, not part of the pinned graph.

The search runs on your own machine, on a bidirectional Dijkstra compiled to WebAssembly, with a JavaScript solver and an A* variant under Advanced Options. All three return the same optimal cost, so the choice is about speed, not the answer. Nothing about your route is sent anywhere.

How to open it

1. Open EO-Map and click Routing in the left rail, or use the direct link below.
2. Stay on the Point to Point tab. Set an origin by typing a system name or left-clicking a star.
3. Set a destination the same way, or right-click a star and choose Set Destination.
4. Pick a route preference, and add waypoints, avoided systems or hard limits. For a possible Thera or Turnur shortcut, tick Use public wormholes under Route Intel.
5. Press Calculate Route, then read the path in the Route Systems window.

Part of EO-Map

The route planner is one panel of EO-Map's interactive 3D map of New Eden. The same session shows live kills along the path, current alliance sovereignty, faction warfare contest state and system activity, so you can read a route and the state of the space it crosses together.
