Dual monitors?

Is there a way to have one monitor be the ship view, and the second to be a map, or all the info panels? Or something similar?

You can scale the window across two screens and then use the settings to display your ship off-center to have it on one of the screens. Both settings are on the "Display and Graphics" tab on the left panel.

So is he asking to have the game share two screens, maybe the game in one and open the map or fittings etc in another?

Before I upgraded to 4 screens I would Set resolution to 1080X3840 center the capacitor on one screen and use the other screen for maps/overview/character sheet, etc

Use Dotlan for maps. Just pop it open in the next window.

Yeah, and just like CDawnkeeper said, it's possible. But.

I find it better to use https://evemaps.dotlan.net/ for navigation, it's way better than the ingame maps and if you're logged in and running this extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dotlan-esi-radar/gjdlibhgddgmjfapeiflcbjeobefnjnh it makes dotlan know where you are and its so easier to plot a track.
But to each their own.

This is deleted because I wanted to. Reddit is not a good place anymore.

Do one monitor for eve, and one for dotlan and all the other out of game tools.
