You can enter the name of a planet and hit enter and fly to there. When you add-in some of the Add-on's, you can find objects in space, such as the cargo ship from the movie 2010 (with the 'Pod' Dave is trying to escape in moving away from it), way out by the planet IO, or the rotating space station from the movie 2001, but you have to set the 'Time' to a year after 2010, or it won't be there yet. :)
There are Add-ins for Star Wars, Star Trek, the Death Star, the planet Alderan, Millennian Falcon, etc. but those are in other solar systems and you have to access them through the "Solar System Browser' tab once they are loaded.
Choose planets by pressing 1 - 9 and press 'G' to move towards it.
You can bookmark positions in space/universe. Try to go way out past Pluto, and with 'Labels' OFF, see if you can find your way back to Earth... the ultimate road trip.
I can suggest reading up in the forums for help with all of this. You essentially drop the add-ins into folders you create in the right directories. It's an amazing piece of software.
