-The stellar cartography database utilizes a hierarchical arrangement to assist the user in both browsing and finding a specific locale in known space. Depending upon what scale a user wishes to look at, the map interface can guide you from one scale to another through simple point-and-click, or by pull-down menus if you have a destination in mind. There are four scales from which to choose from, and each successive smaller scale provides more detail than the previous scale. From largest to smallest, the scales are: Galactic, Local, Sector, and System. Each are outlined below, and each can be accessed from either the main astrometrics page, or from any of the four map interfaces. Note: This map interface is designed for star charting and cartographic analysis only. It is not intended as a navigational tool.+The stellar cartography database utilizes a hierarchical arrangement of interactive maps to assist the user in finding a specific locale in known space.

 Due to Starfleet's origins on Earth, the galactic coordinate system used by the Federation is //Terra-centric//. That is, the position of Earth's star system relative to the galactic core forms the reference point for modern stellar cartography. Due to Starfleet's origins on Earth, the galactic coordinate system used by the Federation is //Terra-centric//.
