Galaxy | Exploration Destiny Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Exploration of the game world in Destiny is done at two levels. The first one are intergalactic travels - for that purpose you have to use the spaceship you own. The only way to open a galaxy map is to return to an orbit.
Once the game successfully loads the galaxy map, you can plan your next journey, by selecting e.g. another planet or the Tower as your destination. Depending on the type of location, either you will be immediately transferred to the place or a separate map will be loaded (e.g. a selected sector on the planet surface), where you can further specify your destination (e.g. main mission objective).
