<p>so, my question for today is:
how are coordinating points going to be used in star maps for navigating and space jumps?  I know that jumping is possible. I have actually seen a jump.   but the nav maps aren't going to be like our gps satellites are using now.  no google maps to tell us how to get somewhere.</p>

I’m voting to close this question. I'm not sure what you mean by "jumps".  I assume you mean some kind of teleportation or instantaneous transport.  If so, that puts this question outside the scope of Astronomy. If not, please clarify.

Are you talking about this in relevance to space jumps?

The [International Celestial Reference System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Celestial_Reference_System) uses distant extra-galactic radio sources, mostly [quasars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasar), as reference points, with the Solar System's barycenter as the origin. Alternatively, a [Voyager Golden Record](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record) uses a pulsar map to indicate the position of Earth. So, pulsars and objects like quasars could be used as reference points in a science fiction world where FTL jumps (which I assume you're talking about) are possible

*"I have actually seen a jump."* I don't believe you. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but you've supplied zero evidence.
