Certainly a large enhancement, but it would be amazing to have the tool plot the route for you through an area and identify the undiscovered systems. This would be especially useful when you are in a nebular is often many of the stars have already been discovered, so you can spend hours hopping around to find ones that are undiscovered. Another useful item would be to say plot me an optimal route to map every system within X lys. Then you just get going and it will track which ones you have already done and which are next.

If you plot a route using the galaxy map it already does highlight which ones have been discovered and which ones have not. It does that by reading the nav route which the game writes to a file and then looking each of those systems up on EDSM.

What it doesn't do is pick out nearby undiscovered systems because it has no way of finding them. The only way I could imagine making that work would be to make it take control of the mouse and zoom around the galaxy map, clicking on each star in turn so it can look them up in EDSM without plotting a route. Easier said than done that one as it needs quite a bit of computer vision to interpret the galaxy map and understand how to manipulate the controls to steer it around.
