It is available when the player is in space in their starship and can be accessed by pressing Psbutton.dpaddown/Key.m/Xboxbutton.dpaddown (PS4/PC/Xbox). While viewing the map, the player can choose to follow a selected waypoint or free exploration.

    • Path towards waypoint (selected from Discoveries list)

    • Path towards Atlas Interface (unused if you've completed the Atlas Path)
