SMC is generally a very good aid to navigation. You either put in info from sectors you explore, or you download a map that someone else has made. In addition to just being a much better map than the galaxy map (and no green either...), SMC also does a lot of very useful things.
One of the most popular features is the trade-route finder. This tool will look through an entire galaxy and find the best trade routes for either exp or cash. It will even allow you to remove certain goods or port races.
Another useful feature is location finding. You can select any sector and bring up a menu and it will tell you the nearest uno, fed space, bank, or whatever to that location. SMC also has a complete weapon and ship listing and allows you to store other useful info, such as planet owners and levels. I highly recommend this program for both advanced players and beginners.
The author of SMC was a SM player known as Tasmy. All credit (and/or blame) for this program goes to him.
I wrote a help page awhile ago where you can download SMC and get help settting up the program itself and maps for it. This page is : http://dccmn.com/sm/tools/SMChelp/SMChelp.html
