DDS releases very different star map

The DDS have released version 4.0 of their star map which shows star systems in local space covering a span of around 400 light years from left to right. This new map is radically different however as it does not attempt to accurately portray the astral position of stars but instead uses a schematic system to show the distribution of systems belonging to the various factions.

The map links systems using major space lanes (or an approximation of). The DDS say the old map was becoming increasingly cluttered and unwieldly, this new map is said to be much clearer and future proof and will include supplementary information in later updates.
