A guide to every feature, grouped by what you're doing.
New to Nexum? Log in with EVE Online SSO, create a map, and start scouting — your character's location is tracked automatically. Below is how each feature works. Most things are also reachable from the map's right-click menus and the sidebars.
Click Log in with EVE Online and authorise with EVE SSO. Nexum never sees your password — it uses CCP's official login. Link extra characters (alts) later from the character switcher; you can swap active character without logging in again.
Open the map switcher (top-left) and create a new map. Personal maps are always private to you. When creating a map you can optionally seed it from an EVE region — it pre-loads every system with stargate connections drawn in a Dotlan-style layout. Leave the region blank for an empty canvas.
As you fly, your current system is highlighted and (on an unlocked map) new systems are added to your chain automatically. The map syncs live, so everyone viewing it sees your edits within moments.
Drag systems to arrange them; draw a connection by dragging from one node to another (turn on Easy Connect in System Options to drag from anywhere on a node). Click a connection to set its wormhole type, mass status (stable / destabilised / critical) and end-of-life flag. Snap-to-grid and an optional minimap are in Settings.
On a connection, open the type picker to assign the exact wormhole code; hovering a static shows its destination class, mass limit and lifetime. Setting a signature's wormhole type fills the connection automatically.
Open a connection's rolling calculator to plan collapsing a hole. It models the ±10% mass variance, so each pass is judged against the worst case — buttons forecast safe / may-collapse / will-collapse. Set your roller ship (cold + prop-on mass, or pull your current ship from ESI), then click each pass; it tracks which side the roller is on and warns before a pass would strand it or close the hole.
Shift+click or Shift+drag to select several systems, then bulk-delete or move them. Export the whole map to a PNG (or copy it to the clipboard) for pings, and import/export the map as JSON from the sidebar.
In-game, open the probe scanner, press Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C, alt-tab to Nexum and press Ctrl+V with a system selected. Signatures and anomalies pasted together are sorted into the right panels automatically. Turn on Overwrite on paste to drop signatures that are no longer in the scan (or hold Shift while pasting to overwrite once).
Set each signature's type; for wormholes, pick the WH type and where it leads to connect it on the map. Wormhole rows tint as they age toward the type's known lifetime (yellow, then orange, then red past expected close). An inbound K162 fires a toast, browser notification and audio ping.
Cosmic anomalies (Combat, Ore and Homefront sites) paste into their own Anomalies panel alongside signatures, with the same overwrite-on-paste, filtering and aging.
On a wormhole signature row, click the copy icon to get a paste-ready in-game bookmark name. Customise the format with tokens (signature ID, destination, size) in Settings → Signatures.
Click a system to open its panel: class, security, effects, statics, celestials, sovereignty, signatures, structures, killboard and notes — each section resizable and collapsible, and reorderable to taste.
Record player structures per system; the owning corp is resolved from ESI and tinted by your standings.
Right-click a system → Set Intel to flag it (friendly / hostile / occupied / empty, or your own custom tags with colours). The tag shows as a corner marker on the node.
Sov-holding systems are tinted from your own EVE contacts — red for hostiles, blue for friendlies — across the whole chain, with killboard activity and sov holder shown in the panel.
See a dot for everyone viewing the map and for your fleet members, with live positions. Your own location is the green you-are-here marker.
Ask for a route and Nexum runs it over stargates and your live wormhole chain, so a shortcut through a hole is a single click. Set destination or add waypoint straight to your in-game autopilot from the system panel.
Nodes flag null-sec storms, A0 suns, ice belts, wormhole effects, incursions and pirate insurgencies. Thera / Turnur (eve-scout) connections are surfaced too.
A toolbar chip shows the nearest incursion, insurgency or hostile-sov system in jumps. Set a threshold to get a browser notification and audio ping when you cross into the zone.
Corp maps can push inbound-K162 and new-connection alerts to a Discord channel (configured per corp by an admin), so intel lands even when nobody's watching the tab.
Open the watchlist from the binoculars tab on the left edge of the map. Add the holes you're hunting — a specific system (name / J-code), a wormhole type (matched against statics, connections and scanned signatures anywhere in the chain), or a characteristic (shattered, an effect, frigate holes) via the quick-add chips. Each entry has its own marker icon, colour and optional note.
When a watched thing is on the map, its node (or connection) is highlighted with your marker; the first time it appears it toasts and chimes once. Click the show on map button on an entry to jump straight to a match — if there's more than one, it expands to a list you can pick from. The watchlist follows you across devices.
Keep several independent maps and switch between them from the map switcher. Each character or corp has its own set, up to the configured limits.
Turn on Sync system data across my maps in Map Controls. When the same system appears on several of your maps, scanning it on one copies its signatures and anomalies to the same system on your others — personal maps with your personal maps, corp maps with the corp's. It's non-destructive: it only adds missing entries and fills blanks, never overwriting what you've entered or deleting anything.
Fold one map into another: only missing systems and connections are added, with signatures, structures and notes merged in and new systems slotted into the existing layout.
Grant edit access to a specific character or an entire corp from the sidebar, or generate a read-only share link with a chosen expiry and which intel it includes.
In corp mode, your corp shares corp maps alongside everyone's private maps. Roles control who can administer; admins reach the dashboard, reports and audit log from the /admin area.
An admin can freeze a corp map's topology — systems, connections and the name lock for non-admins, but signatures, structures and notes stay editable so ops continue while the layout is pinned.
Admins get users and systems reports, per-character attribution of scanning activity, and an audit log of sensitive actions, all time-windowed.
⌘/Ctrl+K searches systems to add; H centres home; Del removes the selection; ⌘/Ctrl+Z undoes. The full list is in Settings → Shortcuts.
The gear button opens display options (minimap, font size, placement direction), signature bookmarks and the shortcut list. Most preferences follow you across devices. Nexum is available in nine languages — pick yours from the language menu.
