Hello Commanders! I am Commander Chikote. I first started playing Elite Dangerous in 2016, and I have enjoyed many hours out in the black: exploring, finding bios, building outposts and occasionally collecting bounties.

I have used many of the apps designed by some great players, but I always felt it could be done better. So I created CanopyNav. I didn’t want to do the cutting and pasting anymore. I wanted real-time intelligence. I wanted to know where the 5A frame shift drive for my build was without leaving the game or buying an extra monitor or gadget to find it. I wanted voice control, so I didn’t have to take my hands off the HOTAS, and an interface I can hide or show with just a command.

For me it has been a labor of love, and I hope it serves your needs like it has mine. I use it daily. I hope to see you out in the black, Commander, as CanopyNav feeds you the info you need and brings you safely home. o7 Commander!
