The Map Mode displays three-dimensional sector and system maps providing information on and locations of all planetary bodies, artificial satellites, bases, jump routes as well as known spacecraft, color coded by faction. Note that jump route lines between factions will display a half/half color from each faction whose systems the wormhole singularity links.
