I like using the geoscanning probes to survey a system from safety. I enter the system with my engines basically off, so as to not have a thermal signature, spend a few hours launching probes at interesting destinations, and then I leave back out the jump point. If any probes get shot down, then I know something mean is in the system and I should come back with warships.
Setting the waypoints isn't too bad; you can use the "add waypoint to SB" button on the system map to add a waypoint to the currently selected system body. I just wish there was a way to queue up more than one launch like there is for dropping buoys.
