Hope I'm not repeating what anyone else suggested (I'm at work and dashing this reply off quickly in the few minutes I've got to sneak some Eve stuff in)..but knowing the distance across individual systems might be useful--particularly for those large systems that take a couple of warps in a small ship to get across them.

OK, so tell me more then. Would a S, M, L size rating be enough, or would you want the actual AUs? I'd prefer the former, the latter would clutter the maps, and mean I have to make them larger = not great for printing
eg.
S = 0-10au
M= 10.1 to 30au
L= 30.1au to 50au
XL=50.1 +
As this is my first post here, I must say that the maps are a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
There is a system radius column in the data dump. I divided the numbers by 1M; I don't know what units they were in. You'll need to increase your tab stops to make the columns line up in the file I linked.
Also, might you consider coding refinery services such that systems where you can get a perfect refine appear differently than those where you cannot? I can provide a list if that would be helpful. Perhaps a different color for the "R" service icon?
To take your points- I thought all refineries in NPC stations did 50% refine, is that not so? And what do you class a "perfect" refine?
No, some NPC stations (such as DuVolle Labs in the Sinq Laison Region) have a 30% base refine rate. What Brisco means that even with full refining skills, with a 30% base rate, you cannot achieve a 100% refine efficiency. There'll always be a little waste. With a 50% refine rate, you can achieve 100% efficiency.
Sorry, the columns were a bit out of alignment. 0.31245 is the security rating. The raidus of Van is 1081 million. Supposing that is in meters, we get ~7.2 AU (at ~150Mkm/au). I'll post a new file with the radii converted to AU.
Refining equipment at empire stations can have a base efficiency of 50%, 32% or 30% (at least, those are the ones I've seen). Refining at any station with equipment under 50%, you will always end up with some waste even if your skills are maxed out. In Aridia, there are 4 stations with less than 50% base efficiency. 3 of those systems contain other stations with better equipment. All of the (one) stations in Tukanas have worse than 50% base equipment. It is true that there is a refinery station in Tukanas, but as a practical matter, any ore mined there would be hauled to Soliara before being refined. I found 54 systems in the universe where this is the case. The list includes the most efficient equipment in each system.
I'm pretty handy with SQL. Are there any kinds of reports I could put together that might be useful to you?
This is just the sort of game where the SQL guys are the kings of this sort of thing!
Really interesting graph! You should pull some more of stats like that, put them into a graph and stick em on a website somewhere- people are mad for stats.
My personal view is that the current look of the maps is more than good enough, though I can understand wanting to upgrade for technical 'behind the scenes' reasons.
BTW, I have a few 'corrections' for the complexes in metro. I'll post them in the corrections thread.

First off, thank you for all of your hard work on the maps, Ombey. My corp uses your maps on a minute by minute basis!
Second, I was wondering if you would be willing to release your 2D information to the public as well... Open source it, as it were. I can think of a number of ways to put the Ombey 2D map data in SQL usable form, which means that tying things into the API and displaying them on a map in the IGB would be relatively trivial.
Basically, what would be needed is an X, Y pair of sufficient resolution for each system. We could, of course, just flatten the XYZ data from the API, but the genius of the Ombey maps is the time and effort that you've put into making them so legible and readable.
Releasing this data under a open-source, or some other license where you received credit would be an amazing asset to EVE in this day of the API.
Speaking of which, we also have a number of SQL wizards that would love to give you a hand. Just let us know what you need.

wow, that's excellent!
but it'd be too hard to gather the information- there isn't a dump of this data to my knowledge, so each system would have to be visited...
