Is there any way to travel back to a saved location? I was at a place where I was offered an exosuit upgrade but needed components I didn't have. Now I have them but can't locate the exosuit upgrade site.

the navigation data itself can be found by activating beacons over various sites, like abandoned structures, or small outposts

As noted though, if you're looking for a drop pod, you can use the signal booster with Drop Pod Data Modules, which you can occasionally harvest from ancient data sites or buy from galactic trade terminals. I find them just through my regular explorations though, and never bother using the data modules.

Also I would add that the easiest way by far to upgrade your exosuit is just to purchase the upgrades from the space station and the nexus, it can be done twice per system.
warp to any system, buy the upgrade in the space station, call the nexus, buy the upgrade there, warp to another system, and repeat.
it requires credits, but not a lot early.
you can farm several upgrades that way, this will make your life easier for the early game, then you can carry more, sell more, and buy the remaining exosuit upgrades.

The fastest way I've found is by using the Exocraft scanner. When it's upgraded you can select Drop Pods as a specific target.
I recently brought forward my old Atlas Rises save and, of course, that generation had limited suit cargo slots. So, with an Exocraft Summoning Station and an Exocraft with scanner upgrades, off I went. Scan for a Drop Pod, call in the ship for fast trip, feed the Drop Pod the necessary stuff, get a suit slot. Call in the Exocraft, scan again, call in the ship, etc. etc.
The Exocraft scanner's range is limited, so it's possible to exhaust all Drop Pods in a region. So, hop back on the ship, visit a new area and start scanning again.
It's a grind doing it that way rather than by everyday exploring but that save was really unbalanced and I figured that I might as well get that much caught up and get it out of the way.

I originally thought i couldn't find my drop pod so yeah i learned something from your post thanks as well.
Also, I found i can find 3 suit upgrades per start system.
1 drop pod, 1 on board the anomoly which you must summon (it still costs you), and another 1x at the space station. Normally i can burn through upgrading my exosuit in about 15min tops as i already farmed the living heck out of the resources i needed to get the free suit upgrades. I'd strongly suggest the cargo upgrades if your a resource packrat like me, and if not, then the exo-suit module slots then the cargo because cargo holds 2x the amount of resources, normal suit inventory doesn't, and exo-suit modules only are used for modules no actual resource and module storage.
I dfidn't know you could find multiple drop pods per star system, as i buy out and keep like 15 or more drop ship coordinates with me at all times. I plop down a portable scanner which i thought its scan range was 300, but seems it scans other planets (which is what leads me to believe only 1 drop pod per star system).
If any of what i said needs corrected do so, this is what i understand so far.
Also i had no idea you could use your exo craft to do drop ship scans. Thats news to me, time to test it out.
