As far as I am aware, these isn't a current thread on this massive time-saver, so here is s brief guide.
As you probably know, from the Holocron you can select the option to bring up the find tool which will draw a route to the nearest bank/cantina etc.
You can also use the /find command when you are in the wilderness to have a waypoint created to the nearest shuttle or Imperial town for instance. All of this of course, can be accessed by command line with "/fi [argument]". Here are some examples:
/fi st
find the nearest starport
/fi sh
shuttleport
/fi ca
cantina
/fi ga
garage
/fi cl
cloning facility
/fi imp
imperial town
/fi reb
rebel town
/fi terminal:mission
/fi terminal:bank
/fi terminal:bazaar
/fi trainer:scout
/fi trainer:brawler
/fi trainer:artisan
/fi trainer:entertainer
/fi trainer:marksman
/fi trainer:ship
shipwright
/fi trainer:medic
/fi trainer
ilot
any pilot trainer, so not a great deal of use
/fi sa
salon
/fi me
med center
/fi vendor
junk dealer
/fi
brings up the find tool
There are probably some more useful arguments yet to be discovered. I'm sure that you'll agree after using the /fi command that it is far easier and quicker to just type "/fi sh" to have a waypoint created for the closest shuttle than going to the planetary map, waiting for the category to load, scrolling around the map etc.
This tool also works with these objects in player cities when the mayor has chosen to register them on the planetary map. It does not however, seem to work with other player profession trainers or vendors (/fi trainer:swordsman or /fi vendor:armour do not seem to work).
If people discover any others they're welcome to post them here.

Try "trainer : pliot" then just add a footnote saying don't use spaces with trainer and pilot.
