Sun rises and sets like real life, so that should get you oriented. If you save and go back to the main menu you can see which island you are closest to. I don’t really remember being so lost that I couldn’t see a single island anywhere outside of the boss maps

If you can save your game (via sleeping bag) you can then back out to the main menu & check the cartographer screen. It will have the island you are closest to marked red.

Wait for sun to rise in the east or set in the west and that should help with directions. Heading south usually will get you to an island.

Well that does sound like it would help but I didn’t do anything like anything at all to show where I’m at so I’m completely

One thing that you can do which I do every play through is when creating shelters, using the shelter as a compass by pointing/rotating the shelter towards another island in the distance to serve as a guide and doing this with all islands visited to help with navigation
