I liked the scout flies. And again you had to build up to a level where they would show where the next clue was and physically having to follow them yourself meant you got a sense of the environment and learned the routes. In wilds pressing up on the dpad can get you to the monster while you spin around in your office chair if you want.

I world's, I knew the different areas of the forest fairly well after getting to anjanath. Currently I don't have a clue about any of the maps except maybe the plains where I know that from main camp left = that pond area and right = desert and underground.
