Actually I still do not understand how it works and for what purpose. Ok just single jump, but I read here for "reaching points that otherwise would be impossibile/hard to get". No idea ...
Road to Colonia and FSD injection

I am referring this this:
Guide / Tutorial Colonia Prison Taxi : 14k LY to Colonia
Very Probably broken by Anarchists! Eagle Sector will no longer work The Colonia Prison Taxi Guide What is it? Colonia is around 22000 Ly from Sol - using the Colonia Prison Taxi allows you to complete the journey by only travelling 14000 Ly, saving you over a third of the trip :) How...
Ask around for a Carrier doing the trip and you can spare yourself from having to constantly press and replace your J key.
Hop on a fleet carrier and save your jumponium... 
And if you take an "overnight express" you'll arrive about 15 hrs later, given that everything works well and there are no hiccups during flight...

That s what I was actually looking for but where to find info about carrier destination?
You can check out the Fleet Carrier Owner's Club discord here: FCOC Discord
there you might find someone going where you'd like, or coming back, etc.

On the right panel under synthesis there's an option to create FSD injections, if you've got the materials. That'll boost your jump range for the next jump. Because you have to plot that one manually it's not much of a timesaver, but if you're somewhere around the edge of the galaxy where there aren't many stars, if you'd have to go a long way round just to carry on where you're going, it might be enough to make a shortcut, or get to an otherwise unreachable system.
Op:
Be aware that when I used the neutron highway to go to Colonia so I could unlock and pin all the engineers, I used the travel time (after I got well away from the bubble) to earn my elite in exploration, and in that process, made multiple first discoveries and mappings (metal and water mostly). Using an FC is certainly quicker, but just letting you know the potential opportunities.

As an example maybe you want to look inside this thread about reaching the Owl Nebula.
I guess it was somewhat difficult to fiddle that route out at first...
lv 1 assisted boost (Basic) will allow you to jump 25% extra range, Standard allows you to jump 50%, premium lets you jump anywhere within double your range. Neutron and White dwarfs will quadruple your range but WD's are ship killers and generally not worth the risk unless you are in a great hurry.
As you approach the core, star density increases, toward the rim the reverse is true. Out at the edges, that 25% makes a huge difference.
What's this slider for then?

See post above..
Because Colonia is further away than the maximum plotting range for the route plotter. The Colonia highway is a set of stations set up between Colonia and the bubble long ago to give pilots a place to rest and repair/restock.
Colonia Connection Highway
The Colonia Connection Highway is a network of Starports, Outposts, and Surface Ports that stretches across 22,000 light years to connect the Core Systems to the distant Colonia Region, home of the famed Colonia system and Jaques Station. 1 The Colonia Connection 1.1 Blue Star Line 1.2 Other...

The stations in blue are the original Colonia Highway, so Hillary Depot, Amundsen Terminal, Eagle's Landing, Eudaemon Anchorage (where you are heading), Sacagawea Spaceport and Gagarin Gate.
There are of course many more stations between Colonia and the bubble due to the amount of traffic between the two supporting extra bases.
That slider lets you determine your current maximum range using Polonium boosting of different levels without actually synthesising Polonium, so if you aren't sure you can make it you can select the boost button and set the slider and see if you can make it to your desired destination, but it only works for the single jump you are planning!
Ok fair enough.
If I am on the edge of the galaxy many systems will be out of range of my regular jump distance of around 65ly, with a Jumponiun boost I can reach any system within 130ly, but I have to make sure I have enough jumponium to get back or I will be stuck, unless some nice CMDR with a FC comes and gets me, or of course my own FC is close enough to reach me before running out of fuel. So used to be impossible to reach without Jumponium pre FC era.
You can do much better than this with a DBX and a low engineering effort.
You can plot 10.000ly legs,selecting Fastest Route,meaning three plots to get there
If this scares you...you're probably playing the wrong game or should not bother with Exploration
Make it quicker Using Neutron to boost your FSD (you have to take an AFMU to heal the damage after a while) or embark on a Taxi (FC)
FSD Injection is meant for other purposes,anyway level 1 adds 25% at your jump range,Level 2 50%,Level 3 100%,meaning the higher your normal jump range is,the bigger improvement with FSD Injection.
