1000 light years is the limit for economical routes. If you want to plot farther set your route to 'fastest'.Jan 21, 2019
If you can't see your destination on the screen, type it into the blank box under the Navigation tab, then hit Enter - the map view will whizz along to your destination. To have the game calculate your waypoints, click on the star in the map, then select 'Plot Route'.Dec 1, 2020
If your range is so low (it may well be in starting ships) that there is no possible combination of hops to get you to your destination then the route plotter will fail.

Especially if you’re traveling farther than 20,000 Lightyears in a single hop.
As of version 2.4 of Elite: Dangerous, you can plot routes in the Galaxy Map using Neutron Boosting. Neutron Star Boosting will provide you four times the jump range for a single jump – in my 53+ LY jump range Anaconda, I’ve done jumps of 214 LY with a Neutron Boost. There are dangers, however:
If you’re going to explore and make money, and can handle the long (possibly months) period of time between station visits and the brain-killing extreme amount of time you’ll spend traveling around potentially very large systems in Supercruise, you’ll want to use the E:DIP with an Efficiency % of 100 to plot routes of more than 20,000 LY, and then use the in-game Galaxy Map to plot your hops between the indicated waypoints..
