Request: No auto-activation of exploration overlay

P L E A S E !!! Get rid of the auto-activation of the exploration overlay. It's annoying as hell!!!
I've never needed it nor used it. Whenever I need to manually manage exploration (for instance to spy on enemies with long-range scanner equipped exploration ships), it obfuscates everything on the map and just make everything more difficult.
In the eventuality that hell would freeze over and that I'd need it, I can activate it from the Zoom Presets and Camera View panel.
If some people like that auto-activation, then please put a game option that allows to choose whether we want it or not.
EDIT:
Completely forgot about the
Diplomacy Relations overlay auto-activation. Pretty much everything I wrote also apply for it.

Can't find this option anywhere in game settings nor in policies settings. Where is it? This auto-activation thing makes me crazy...

Is it possible to make exploration overlay less visible? I liked the old version.

This is temporary. The old version had performance issues on some rigs.

It drives me crazy too!
I don't know of any way to stop this auto-activation either. That's what I'm asking for. I really hope this gets added soon, for my sanity... and apparently yours too!

Oh man..thank you for posting. I like the overlay, but when I click "OFF" It should stay off.

You're welcome! Now let's hope Erik and Elliot see that our sanity is at play here!

It's like you read my mind.
An itsy bitsy button on the lower right would completely do it for me.
I'd click it once and - aaaah, heavenly peace.

It's auto-coming on only if you dabble in the Exploration menu, like looking at your Exploration ships. Yes, I agree, it should not auto-switch on when having that menu open. I find it annoying as well.
