Two cases in point:

- Clusters, like Delta Volanis. The diplomatic mission doesn't say where Delta Volanis is. I can't search the map. So I have to go to the wiki and look up Delta Volanis.

- Quark's bar. Got a mission to talk to Barret in Quark's. Mission text does not tell me where Quarks is. Map in game does not either. On the map for DS9 there's a large black area in the middle -- that's Quarks. How would I have known that from the map? I wouldn't.

This is a useful map: http://www.stowiki.org/Fileeep_Space_9_Map.png, devs, you could learn a thing or two.

In short:

- add a search feature to the star map

- add landmarks to the station maps and make them searchable as well

I'll add one too:
'The Vault' mission text,
The tooltip doesn't tell you that he's on starbase 39, Psi Velorum sector, nor that SB39 is Sierra system.

It's all in the manual. Oh, wait................

So much of this. Every mission should have a hyperlink that opens the map, centered on the system in question.

Oh, and one more thing: keep NPCs on the map regardless of draw distance. I shouldn't have to walk closer to that side of the map to see if the person I need to find is there -- it's not like they're moving around.

All the clusters are listed on the map though...

good grief...

...gamers are really completely dependent these days. It's amazing, especially in an mmo like STO, which has one of the smallest environments out there. It takes about 15 seconds and a small tad of common sense to find both Delta Volanis and Quarks.
