Posted this on Steam earlier but thought I'd come here and post it as well.

I've been thinking about this and I think that amap or cartography room would be an amazing addition. Much like the room used to search for resources, a cartography room should be able to scan, record and save map data and relay it into your PDA for navigation.
Imagine standing in a room where you can zoom around on the map you've uncovered so far with a 3D display showing topographical information.
It would be able to replace the need for beacons, if through this room you could place map markers anywhere on the map that you've explored and through a mod installation, relay this information to your visual HUD.
It seems like a logical transition in the late game to be able to do away with the need for beacons. As a trade-off, the map room could have a high power demand and need plenty of space to be built, along with high material requirements.
You would also need to explore areas of the map, by yourself, in order to reveal the new area. Perhaps a scanning device, to constantly scan as you explore, or a deployable that saves the area it's deployed in into the map. A mod for you to wear perhaps or a mod to install into your submarine, perhaps as a HUD element on the front of the subs big glass front (a lot of free area).
That's just my little idea! Perhaps you've already had it and maybe you're planning to put exactly that into the game, but I wanted to express my wish for it regardless!
