A cross-platform, real-time dashboard for explorers. 100 % Python - runs on Linux, macOS and Windows (no .NET, no exe). Provides real time data for the current system, even if it's not (yet) in EDSM or INARA.

I know, there are many tools like this, some with much more features and much more sophisticated. But they all have one thing in common: They are built for Windows (except for EDMC).

As I'm on kubuntu since early 2025, and most of the tools work in a decent way, at best, when run in a wine environment, I decided to create my own, plattform independent tool. So here it is: Elite Dangerous eXploration Dashboard

 

EDXD provides insight into the details of the currently scanned system.

Currently that is:

- Mineraldeposits per body

- Bio-/Geo-signs per body

- FSS progress of current system

- Sortable by deposit density and other things

- Filter to display only minerals you'Re currently looking for

- Detail panels for selected (in the table) and targeted (in-game) body

- Show estimated scanned/mapped value

- Load all available journal files to create system cache

- Pin your current location and track the distance to that point

 

This tool is undergoing heavy development, so expect more features to come.

Planned features are (not neccessarily in that particular order)

- show first discovered (EDSM)

- show potential types of biosigns, if any; update on DSS and on foot sampling

- show potential types of geosigns, if any; update on DSS

- maybe more...

 

As EDXD is very new, there will be lots of refactoring on the way. So don't expect new features with every new release ;-)

 

If you like my work and want to support me via PayPal.me (see link below) it's much appreciated. EDXD and all it's features will always be for free.
