Names the Eight Galaxies on the F6 map as you travel between them. This OXP sets the title of the chart screen according to the Galaxy which you are in.

Available through the in-game Expansions Manager. It is to be found in the Ambience category. It provides an example of how to set distinctive titles on the long-range chart screens, instead of the usual numbered sequence, "Galactic Chart 1", "Galactic Chart 2", etc. The chart names in this demonstration reputedly originated in the Acorn Archimedes version of Classic Elite.
